The Sultan FV 105 .

The Sultan FV105  is a command and control vehicle variant of the Spartan FV 103 based ont the CVR (T)  plateform   For this role, It has a higher roof .The rear roof was raised  of 20 cm to providing a more comfortable "office space" inside. similar to the Samaritan , This contains a large vertical map board and desk along one side, with a bench seat for three people facing it. Forward of this are positions for the radio operator with provision for 2 to 5 radios, depending upon role and vehicle commander, whose seat can be raised which also gave his access to the pintal mounted G.P.M.G A long-range antenna may be raised at the front of the vehicle when it is stopped. The driver sits forward of this in a small compartment beside the engine space, on a chair with a spring-loaded seat that allows him to recline inside the vehicle or sit upright with his head out of the hatch. The commander has a cupola on the roof with a machinegun There are four smoke grenade launchers on either side of the vehicle towards the front The Sultan has a complete NRBC pack
 In common with the other CVR(T) vehicles of the family Sultan was at the origins fitted with a canvas skirt for river crossing. Because of its high roof this was needed only at the front which slopes downwards. Now this system was removed( in all the vehicles of  CVT(T) family)
To increase the amount of working area, a tent may be raised at the rear end of the vehicle, when it is stopped .Originally the map board can be removed from the vehicle and hung from the tent poles, along with overhead lights connected to the Sultan's power supply, but this option was now removed on many vehicles in service
