The Shark was designed as sort of a universal weapons carrier for light and medium weapons systems and turrets. Vehicles were produced (at least to the prototype stage) with a 35mm autocannon, a 105mm French gun, and the 105mm Rh-105 low recoil gun that can fire standard NATO ammunition. The chassis is a lightweight 8x8 chassis that, while not offering lots of armor protection, does give good mobility and speed. The driver is in the front left of the hull; a passenger seat is located to the right of the driver. The remaining crew members will have hatches on the turret roof, with the hatch layout depending on the turret used.

This is basically a greatly scaled-down version of the MOWAG Piranha wheeled armored personnel carrier. It is a small, light, quick vehicle without a great deal of armor protection, but a lot of agility. Armament is also very light. The driver has a hatch on the front left deck; a windshield may be fitted in front of this that also gives splash protection when fording. The hull roof may be fitted with a cupola that allows a light machinegun to be aimed and fired from within the vehicle, or turrets may be mounted that have a hatch in the roof.
