The tracked design and 800hp engine allows for a road speed of up to 55 km/h. The turret is made of welded steel armor that protects the crew from small arms fire and shell splinters. Over the frontal arc the armor is rated to withstand 14.5mm heavy machine gun round. The main armaments are PG-99 (Type 90) [3] twin-barrel anti-aircraft guns. [4]
Traditionally, a warship's armor system was designed both separately from, and after, the design layout. The design and location of various component subsystems (propulsion, steering, fuel storage and management, communications, range-finding, etc.) were laid out and designed in a manner that presented the most efficient and economical utilization of the hull's displacement.
The Type 99 uses a modified chassis from the Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV, lengthened with an additional road wheel. It has a 52 caliber gun barrel. The secondary armament consists of a roof-mounted .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun, fitted with a shield. The armor provides protection against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters.
