With a simple mod to the door it can be access thru the vehicle.
At the moment it will not give any protection to anyone using it, but DLR is looking into an "Add-on Armour" kit for it, this will add to the total weight of the vehicle.
Performance will remain the same for the vehicle, but for the crew it will increase due to not have to stop for piss breaks on road moves and protecting the crew by not have them dismounting the vehicle in possible mine and IED environments.
