WhAP has cross-country mobility as well as water-obstacle negotiation capability. It can integrate different types of armaments and payloads such as a 30 mm turret [manned and Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS)], a 7.62/12.7 mm RCWS, and anti-tank guided missiles.

The system is indigenously designed and developed by DRDO and manufactured by Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL).

The vehicle is designed to provide a modular add-on composite armour for ballistic protection. It also provides all-around blast and mine protection up until STANAG 4569 Level 3. It has a double-floor V-type mine protection with shock-resistant seats and foot pads. It generates a power of 600 hp at 2,000 rpm and can carry 12 troops. The maximum on-road speed of the vehicle is 100 km/h. It weighs 24.5 tonne with an in-service 30 mm upgraded turret, and 21.5 tonne without the turret.
