== Design ==
P6 ATAV is manufactured by SSE Defence, the same company that manufactured P2 Pakci, P2 Commando, and P3 Cheetah. In general shape, P6 is similar to P3, but with wider and shorter body. P6 uses tubular frame and “open” body design without door and protective glass. It is constructed from high grade steel material and dual [[Chemistry:Aluminium|aluminium]]. Foreign vehicles that uses this body design is [[Engineering:Light Strike Vehicle (Singapore)|Light Strike Vehicle (Singapore)]] and General Dynamics Flyer.<ref name=":0" />

P6 has 3 points for mounting weapons, preferably 7.62&nbsp;mm MGs. The mounting is at the top of the vehicle, passenger left and passenger right side of the vehicle. In the future, it can be used to mount anti-tank missile, [[Engineering:Surface-to-air missile|surface-to-air missile]], and minigun. The P6 ATAV only has light armor protection (aluminium) to ensure its lightweight and agility.<ref name=BMI>{{cite web |url=https://lancercell.com/2016/11/28/mengintip-pabrik-ranpur-pt-sse/#more-46864 |title=Mengintip Pabrik Ranpur PT.

Just like Flyer, the engine is located at the rear. As an offroad vehicle, P6 uses independent suspension, and offroad winch. Although lightly armoured, P6 uses run flat tire and automatic transmission.
