Learning from lessons of the Human Covenant War, the UNSC more protection such as adding on doors, heavier armour and T/APS. The Multi-Layered Hard-Light Shielding was added after the Discovery of Forerunner plans of the improved versions that the UNSC now used on all of their Aircraft and Vehicles.
(A/N: Visually based off the Cougar MRAP and Coyote in Service with the United States and British Armed Forces. Front of the Vehicle is visually similar to the Halo 2 Anniversary Warthog's Bonnet. The Rear Compartment houses the Primary Armament is similar to the Coyote's but the Troop Compartment is further forwards than the 55mm Rotary Cannon. I'll try to get a visual for you guys if you need one.)

Vehicle History: The MR460 "Tiger" was developed to provide adequate fire support in Urban Environments to combat enemy Heavy Armour, Aircraft and Infantry units. The weapons that the Tiger has would usually be mounted to Tank Destroyer instead of Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle. While the MR460 has been equipped by all divisions of the UNSC, it has proven to be most effective in the hands of UNSC Army Rangers and ODST's. The vehicle is invaluable when carrying additional Ammo and Supplies, as well as being able to transport 3x 5-Man Fire Teams whilst keeping up with the high mobility that those units are renowned for.

Maximum Speed: 117MPH (188KPH)
Vehicle History: The MR465 "Lion" is an Dedicated Tank Destroyer variant to the MR460 "Tiger", forgoing its Gatling cannons to employ a state-of-the-art Linear Rail Cannon. While the MR460 and MR465 has been equipped by all divisions of the UNSC, it has proven to be most effective in the hands of UNSC Army Rangers and ODST's. The vehicle is invaluable when carrying additional Ammo and Supplies, as well as being able to transport 2x 5-Man Fire Teams whilst keeping up with the high mobility that those units are renowned for. It sacrifices a 5-Man Fire Team transport capacity for 4x Missile Rack Reloads.

Vehicle History: The MA430 Bobcat was an entirely new vehicle, however, based heavily off the UNSC Long Range Artillery Fox Cannon's Chassis while combining the ancient M142 HIMARS from 21st Century America. The Missiles have interchangeable Warheads to allow easy logistics and the ability for force commanders to rapidly swing the battle to their favour.
(A/N: Visually based off the UNSC Fox Cannon with Combination of the United States M142 HIMARS Munition Size. The Missile Rack was of Russian Influence since I didn't want to equip it with 6 Missiles, but rather with a more Generous 38 Missiles)

Engine: M860-Spec W48 60 Litre Hydrogen-Burning ICE. Capable of producing an Equivalent Power Output of 2795Hp.
Maximum Speed: 100MPH (160KPH)
Vehicle History: The CSV440 Truck was designed to replace the ageing CSG Military Trucks built by Sinoviet. Requirements for such a vehicle were as follows, The vehicle had to use an existing Powerplant to make maintenance simple, the superstructure had to built from armour, rather than building it than slapping armoured plates on top. The CSV needed to have an enclosed cabin and weapons station to protect the occupants. TITAN Security Armoury won the contract based upon one other feature, overlooked by its completion, added a rail loading system. Reminiscent of 21st Century Aircraft like the C-17 Globe Master VI, C-130 Super Hercules and A-400M Super Atlas to name a few, they utilised the system to quickly convert the aircraft, just carrying Humanitarian Aid to a Natural Disaster into being able to bolt hundreds of seats to help deploy Paratroopers very quickly. This meant the CSV and its trailers could be carrying a fuel tank or after a minute, a 40 Soldier troop bay. This allowed UNSC Commander lots of choices for the best way to move its cargo easily.

Engine: HMAT750-Spec Nuclear Deuterium/Plasma Fusion. Capable of producing an Equivalent Power Output of 8760Hp.
Maximum Speed: 125MPH (201KPH)
Vehicle History: The HMAAT750 is an new breed of UNSC heavy armour, utilising vector thrust technology on an existing chassis and experimenting on it to become the superior platform. Whilst the Red Wolf design was flawless as it is, HIGHCOM wished to explore alternative options with propulsion, manoeuvres and armament upgrade. Two variants were experimented with either Constant Vector Thrust or Anti-Grav technology. While the UNSC has an extensive knowledge of Anti-Grav, it has limited speed and manoeuvrability. As testament with enemy Human-Covenant War Era vehicles, the distinct disadvantages is being able to move quickly and fire. Constant Vector Thrust technology was developed well into the 22nd Century with some continued tests into the mid-26th Century. However, it was not chosen because there were rough edges, but HIGHCOM did acknowledge this was a possibility in the future. Yet, the Red Wolf proved so immensely popular with both maintenance and crews, HIGHCOM asked if it could carry a heavier armament without sacrificing speed and agility. Nearly 140 years later and another 370 billion UEG Credits, the project had bored fruit. The fuel source being small scale Nuclear Deuterium/Plasma Fusion reactor allowed the Constant Vector Thrusts to never run out. The UNSC ordered 500,000 units in the first order, they did accept this Labrador will be harder to maintain, but it would be worth it when a T-47 Scarab was destroyed by a single shot. It is heavily used by UNSC Army Rangers and Airborne Cavalry. ODST's appreciated the design, however, deemed it too noisy for their insertions and with no Troop transporting ability, it was not required.
(A/N: This vehicle was based off the HT-95 Levkov from Battlefield 4: Final Stand DLC. I decided not to have the Casemate design because the UNSC would have countered that problem by then by default really. But the )

Vehicle History: The M780 Coyote was built to replace the M510 Mammoth Heavy Siege-Works Platform. As adequate as the Mammoth was it's reliance upon a target designator to 'paint' its targets were inefficient and costly to infantry on the ground assigned to 'paint' targets such as Storm Scarab Walkers. The Coyote's Superior Weapon systems and Mobility makes it a very desirable Anti-Ship Defence measure with many colonies packing 2 Coyotes roaming the perimeter of Colonies without Permanent Anti-Orbital Onager Gun Emplacements. Major UNSC Power houses such as Reach, Earth, Arcadia and Mars have upwards of a Dozen protecting each major city and/or Military Installations. Cruisers can deploy a pair alongside D-98/SHAG Bald Eagle's, and Dedicated Landing Carriers usually can deploy about 50 of each Aircraft/Ground Vehicle.
