Specifications called for a vehicle that could travel at speeds of 80 km/h on flat terrain and carry the [[Thumper artillery piece]]. The SLDF's [[Quartermaster Command]] chose the Thor because it was the only submitted design that met the 80 km/h specification and due to its advanced [[CASE]] protection system, which allowed the crew and vehicle to survive an ammunition explosion.
