Future Armoured Vehicle, Glass Plan


Explanation:
I believe that there may be a mistake in "Vidrio"; it should be "vidro". Every other specification that you show refers to reinforced glass which seems to be designed for the protection of the occupants of this fire cannon vehicle - probably the type used in riot control by security forces. (Textron Marine and Land Systems in New Orleans, used to make a 6-wheeled tank-like vehicle that could be fitted with a water cannon turret on top.)

I like Marlene's option, "Fast Attack Vehicle".
