The LAV-25 "Coyote" represents the LAV-25 family series in the Canadian Armed Forces in the form of a battlefield reconnaissance vehicle. Deliveries of the initial LAV-25 system were accomplished for the United States Marine Corps from 1983 through 1987, to which the LAV-25 was tabbed for Canadian use in 1992, with service entry of 203 production models in 1993.

Designed from the Swiss MOWAG Piranha, the LAV-25 retains 8x8 and full amphibious capabilities.
