ARMOURED VEHICLE MODERNIZATION

MODERNIZATION
SERVICES

From legacy platform to mission-ready vehicle.

We modernize and overhaul wheeled armoured vehicles to extend their service life, improve reliability and integrate contemporary mobility, observation, communication, protection and mission systems.

MODERNIZATION & OVERHAUL

FROM LEGACY PLATFORM
TO MISSION-READY VEHICLE

MISTA provides comprehensive modernization and overhaul of wheeled armoured vehicles, including BTR and BRDM platforms. Each project is developed around the technical condition of the vehicle, its mission profile and the operator’s requirements.

Our engineering approach combines component replacement, system integration, hull restoration and field testing to deliver a more reliable, functional and operator-focused platform.

EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE

Component renewal and system upgrades extend the operational life of proven vehicle platforms.

IMPROVED MISSION CAPABILITY

Integrated mobility, observation, communication and protection systems increase operational effectiveness.

RELIABILITY & SERVICEABILITY

Modern components and restored vehicle systems improve readiness, maintainability and long-term support.

MODERNIZATION SCOPE

COMPREHENSIVE UPGRADE
FOR MISSION REDINESS

Each modernization project is tailored to the vehicle platform, technical condition, mission profile and customer requirements. The final upgrade package may combine powertrain replacement, observation and communication systems, protection upgrades, crew-workspace improvements and mission-equipment integration.

01

POWERTRAIN & MOBILITY

Replacement of outdated engines, integration of modern transmissions and upgrades to cooling, fuel, steering, braking and supporting vehicle systems.

02

OBSERVATION, COMMUNICATION & CONTROL

Integration of daylight and thermal observation, navigation, radio communication and updated vehicle-control systems.

03

ERGONOMICS &
OPERATIONAL USE

Improved access, lighting, mirrors, seating and interior arrangement increase crew safety, working conditions and vehicle usability.

04

PROTECTION &
MISSION EQUIPMENT

Selected armour reinforcement, electronic protection and integration of customer-specified weapon stations and mission systems.

PROJECT CASE

BTR-70DIP / BTR-70DIPT
MODERNIZATION

The BTR-70 modernization programme was developed to extend the operational life of the proven 8×8 platform and adapt it to contemporary battlefield and operator requirements.

The upgraded vehicle retains its amphibious capability and cross-country mobility while receiving modernized powertrain, observation, communication, protection and crew-support systems.

POWERTRAIN MODERNIZATION

The original petrol power units were replaced with two high-torque IVECO Tector diesel engines delivering approximately 300 hp in total. The conversion improves reliability, operational range and fuel efficiency.

MODERNIZATION PACKAGE

The BTR-70 modernization programme combines mechanical, electrical, observation, communication, protection and crew-support upgrades within one integrated vehicle package.

01

POWERTRAIN & MOBILITY

The original petrol engines were replaced with two high-torque IVECO Tector diesel units delivering approximately 300 hp in total. Supporting drivetrain and vehicle systems were adapted to improve reliability, range and fuel efficiency.

02

OBSERVATION & OPTOELECTRONICS

Daylight and thermal-imaging observation equipment improves visibility, target detection and vehicle operation at night and in limited-visibility conditions.

03

COMMUNICATION & ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Communication equipment can be replaced with modern radio systems selected according to operator requirements, while the electrical installation is renewed and adapted to the upgraded equipment.

04

ACCESS & CREW ERGONOMICS

Improved side access, lighting, mirrors, seals, seating and interior equipment enhance crew safety, working conditions and everyday vehicle operation.

05

PROTECTION & ARMAMENT

The vehicle can receive reinforced armour in selected areas, electronic protection against UAV and FPV threats, and an upgraded BPU-1 turret with 14.5 mm KPVT and 7.62 mm PKT machine guns.

GENERAL OVERHAUL

RESTORING RELIABILITY
ACROSS THE VEHICLE

In addition to modernization, MISTA performs comprehensive overhaul and restoration of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, structural and interior vehicle systems.

01

MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES

Regeneration or replacement of suspension, shock absorbers, drivetrain components, braking systems and other mechanical assemblies.

02

HULL & CORROSION PROTECTION

Repair of damaged hull elements, restoration of protective coatings and renewed corrosion protection.

03

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Complete replacement or modernization of the vehicle electrical installation and adaptation to newly integrated equipment.

04

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS

Inspection, repair and restoration of hydraulic systems, including steering and hatch-opening mechanisms.

05

INTERIOR RESTORATION

Interior repainting, replacement of seals, installation of new seating and restoration of damaged equipment.

06

SYSTEM VERIFICATION

Functional verification of steering, braking, hydraulic, electrical and other vehicle systems before final field testing.

FIELD VALIDATION

VALIDATED UNDER
FIELD CONDITIONS

Following modernization and overhaul, the vehicle undergoes field testing to verify mobility, steering, braking and the operation of hydraulic, electrical and other vehicle systems under demanding conditions.
