The UK '''All Terrain Mobility Platform''' is commonly known by the name of [[Supacat|its manufacturer]] '''Supacat'''. It is a lightweight, 6-wheeled vehicle used by airborne and air-mobile forces of the [[British Army]] since 1988.

== Description ==
The Supacat is amphibious and has a low [[ground pressure]], enabling it to traverse rough terrain whilst carrying up to eight troops (and two crew), a standard [[NATO]] pallet or other stores (ammunition etc.).

A [[GPMG]] may also be fitted to create an effective mobile fire support platform. In addition, the ATMP in British Army service could be fitted with a [[MILAN]] Firing Post. The Parachute Regiment also conducted a successful proof of concept in 1989 by fitting a [[Javelin (surface-to-air missile)|Javelin]] LML to the bed of the ATMP for drop zone air defence. A second ATMP acted as an ammunition limber. 

It has permanent six wheel drive (6x6) with the front four wheels (two axles) steered conventionally by using a rotating handlebar arrangement. These handlebars also operate the steering brakes, which act independently on each side of the vehicle giving brake steering.

The Supacat is built around a steel rectangular hollow section chassis frame, which forms the entire shape of the vehicle and to which all components and attachments are fitted. The 'body' of the Supacat forms a hull that enables the vehicle to float and protects the majority of mechanical components.

The vehicle can be configured for a number of roles:
*Basic ATMP.
*FLPT (Fork Lift Pallet Trailer) to lift, handle and carry pallets up to 1.6 tonnes.
*SLLPT (Self Loading Lightweight Pallet Trailer).
*'Fuel Cat', which is able to carry and pump up to 1000 litres of [[aviation fuel]]. It also carries an [[Aircraft engine starting|engine start system]] for aircraft and is able to tow an APFC (Air Portable Fuel Container).
*Mounted crane.
*Aircraft crash recovery.
*Radio rebroadcast stations.
*[[Casualty evacuation]].

The Supacats were initially taken into service by the United Kingdom in 1988 and have been heavily used in active service.

A modified Supacat 6X6 MK III was used in the movie ''[[Brazil (1985 film)|Brazil]]''.
