The Badger Multirole Tactical Vehicle (MTV) is a 4WD tactical vehiclle developed by [[Tran International|Tran Heavy Industries]] and in service as the standard general purpose {{wp|military light utility vehicle|light utilty vehicle}} of KSA member states. As its name suggests, the Badger MTV is a highly versatile vehicle that can be used for both combat and non-combat roles with many variants developed throughout its operational history allowing it to adopt more specialized roles such as electronic warfare, medical, command and logistics variants. The Badger MTV has been in service since 1977 and has evolved considerably throughout its service history with the Badger MTV 3 being the most recent development, having entered service in 2018. As a baseline the Badger MTV 3 supports up to 5 persons on board (1 driver, 3 passengers and 1 weapon operator), powered by Turbodiesel engines that provides 300 metric horsepower (224 kW), an operational range of 700 km (430 mi) and can be armed with either a crewed or {{wp|Remote controlled weapon station|RCWS}} platform outfitted with a wide selection of weapons such as a 12.7mm {{wp|heavy machine gun}}, {{wp|anti-tank guided missile}} and {{wp|Automatic grenade launcher|automatic grenade}} launchers. Additionally each badger is capable of towing a trailer behind it that can carry additional cargo or specialized equipment to enchance its role. To help reduce cost and production time, the Badger MTV 2s and 3s manufacturing processes are based on the {{wp|For but not with|fit for but not with}} (FBNW) armor model based around the Basic (B-suite) and Comprehensive (C-suite) suite modules. In the manufacturing phase the B-suite armor, which covers only a minimum amount of armor, would be installed in difficult-to-access areas of the vehicle and in any other required support structures of the vehicle. The larger remaining bulk of the armor, which is the C-suite, would be installed in the field on an as-required basis. The C-suite itself is comprised of many components which vehicle crew and personnel can choose to install in its entirety or not. Two soldiers can install a full set of C-suite armor in under five hours which can also be removed within the same period of time as well when C-suite armor is not required. The adoptioned of the B-suite and C-suite model means that additional armor is only used when required which helps reduce wear and tear and the whole lifecycle cost of the vehicles. Additionally it provides more flexibility and adaptability for the Badger MTVs. This design principle was taken from lessons learned from the production of the Badger MTV 1 model which was bogged down by high costs and less flexibility.
 
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic fire-extinguishing system, externally mounted and shielded fuel tanks and, as it was designed to operate in equatorial countries, an air conditioning system that can drop the tempreature from 49 °C (120 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F) within thirty minutes although this can also be switched to a cabin heater that can increase its temperature. The Badger MTV 3s are also equipped with a built-in diagnostic tool that will notify vehicle operators for any potential or already occurred failures in the vehicle's hardwares and softwares. In its B-suite a crew of six soldiers with fully equipped combat equipoment requires only less than 30 seconds to complete an ingress and takes only 10 seconds to complete an egress. Mobility was one of the key design concerns as the vehicle needed to be capable of traveling in cross-country and offroad conditions. As such it was designed with tactical mobility in mind. For example it is capable of {{wp|Ford|fording}} 150cm (60 inches) of both fresh and saltwater without a fording kit in forward and reverse while maintaing contact with the ground. It has an acceleration from 0 to 50 km/h within 8.5 seconds on dry, level, hard terrain, and must be able to drive off a vertical step and sustain no mechanical damage. It must be capable to climb a pre-determined angled gradient (baseline is 60 percent) on a hard-surfaced gradient and traverse a 40 percent sideslope with no degredation in driver control. The stringent and at times extreme mobility requirements is largely a result of the difficult operating conditions faced by the challenging geographic condition of KSA member states. The Badger MTV has deployed in both active conflict zones as well as training exercises. One of its most notable deployments was in the [[Insurgency in M'biruna|M'birunan Insurgency]] where Badger MTV units were extensively used by [[Multinational Peacekeeping Force M'biruna|international peacekeeping forces]] to enforce a ceasefire agreement between government and rebel forces. It has been speculated that future versions of the Badger would include either a {{wp|Hybrid vehicle|hybrid}} or {{wp|Electric vehicle|electric}} versions of the vehicle.

The Panther Tank (officially designated as the B2 Panther) is a {{wp|List of main battle tanks by generation#third|third generation}} {{wp|medium tank}} developed as a joint venture by Daoan, Kainuinoan and Kajeran defense contractors and serves as the standard medium tank of all three countries. The Panther has been in service since 1988, then known as the B1 Panther, and has since been upgraded into the B2 version which entered service in 2009. The Panther tank was originally proposed and envisioned as {{wp|main battle tank}} (MBT) by Kainuinoan military planners. The investment of funds and resources in the development of an MBT however became a point of in the Daoan and Kajeran armed forces as the two nations were largely achipelagic countries with soft terrain where a heavy MBT would have trouble traversing. However both countries recognized the need for an armored vehicle with a larger firepower than an infantry fighting vehicle but not as heavy as a main battle tank. After careful consideration and research the Panther evolved from a main battle tank into a medium tank with the final design approved by the RAFI in 1986. Its most modern evolution, the B2 Panther, is crewed by a 3-man crew (one commander, gunner & driver) and powered by a Scorpion S150 Diesel Engine providing 850 metric horsepower (634 kW) of power. Its primary armament is an {{wp|Autoloader|autoloading}} {{wp|105×617mmR|105mm}} {{wp|smoothbore}} gun with a maximum capacity of 42 {{wp|Shell (projectile)|shells}}. The B2 Panther can be equipped with a wide array of ammunition types which includes {{wp|Kinetic energy penetrator|kinetic-based}} shells of the {{wp|armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot}} (APFSDS) variety, {{wp|high-explosive anti-tank}} / high-explosive (HE) rounds and gun-launched {{wp|anti-tank guided missile|anti-tank guided missiles}} (ATGM). APFSDS, HEAT shells and ATGMs are generally used against heavily armored targets such as other tanks whereas HE shells are used against enemy infantry, light or unarmored vehicles, buildings and fortifications. The Panther's APFSDS shells are capable of penetrating armored steel at 2,000 meters (1.2 miles). For better performance against the armor of main battle tanks, Panther operators would generally use the 105 mm gun-launched ATGM in tandem with HEAT warheads that offers a higher degree of penetration. The Panther's ATGM is also reportedly capable of engaging unsuspecting low-flying helicopters. Its secondary armament is comprised of a {{wp|remotely controlled weapon station}} that is equipped with a 12.7mm {{wp|heavy machine gun}} and a 40mm {{wp|automatic grenade launcher}}. To lower costs the RCWs platform can be replaced with a crew-operated weapon station.
 
B2 Panthers are equipped with a suite of modern sensory and fire control systems which includes an advanced ballistic computer, {{wp|laser rangefinder}}, meteorological sensors, gunner {{wp|Thermography|thermal imaging}} sight, milimeter-wave radar and a commander's panoramic sight. The fire control system is capable of supporting automatic target trackimg, commander takeover and hunter-kiler capabilities. All models are equipped with air conditioning system, command and control euqipment, an integrated battlefield management system, automated fire extinguishing system and oxygen production equipment for crew. Like the Badger MTV 3 it a built-in diagnostic system is installed that will notify vehicle operators for any potential or already occurred failures in the vehicle's hardwares and softwares allowing the Panther's crew to repair potential issues before it becomes a problem. For navigation the B2 Panther is provided with both an {{wp|Inertial navigation system|inertial navigation}} and {{wp|satellite navigation}} systems.

The Common Defense Framework (CDF, Nylele: Rafitra Fiarovana Iombonana, RAFI) is a multinational arms procurement program of the member states of the Kayatman Security Association. The primary objective of the RAFI program is the development of domestic defense industry capabilities of KSA member states in order to reduce its reliance on arms export from other countries. The program was initiated in 1970 spearheaded by Lieutenant General <INSERT NAME>, the KSA's then Chief of the Center for Innovation & Research (CIR), a department of the KSA responsible for identifying potential improvement opportunities for the KSA both structurally and operationally. Teams of experts from the CIR identified that KSA member states reliance on foreign arms imports and the under investment of its domestic defense industry pose a long term risk to the KSA's ability to remain nominally independent and free from foreign influence. To counter this CIR proposed that each KSA member state should foster the growth of its domestic arms manufacturing capabilities, particulary small arms in the beginning. The Badger MTV represents the first significant milestone and breakthrough in KSA arms manufacturing capabilities, an inexpensive yet reliable vehicle, two values which most if not all KSA military assets would eventually be based upon. Below is a comprehensive list of all known equipment developed by the KSA under the RAFI program.
