Steyr 4K 7FA-KSPz armored personnel carrier. The basic chassis is topped with a turret mounting a 90mm French or NATO gun, and ammunition is carried instead of most passengers. Two passengers are retained as scouts so the vehicle can be used for reconnaissance. The top hatch is replaced by the turret, but all other hatches are retained, and two hatches are in the turret for the commander and gunner. This vehicle is used in small numbers by Switzerland and Greece.

4K 7FA KSPz armored personnel carrier can be modified to carry the Rasit ground surveillance radar and a computerized management system as well as extra radios and a datalink system to higher headquarters. The M-2HB turret is removed in this vehicle. The radar has a range of 30 km and may be operated by a cable at a range of 30 meters.
