The LAV-25 Coyote 8x8 vehicle is similar to the US Marine Coprs LAV-25 light armored vehicle. By Staff Writer
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. Standard armament consists of the M242 Bushmaster chain gun along with a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun in a two-person powered turret. The Coyote is crewed by a compliment of four and features an array of advanced reconnaissance equipment that includes long-range TV cameras, mast-mounted retractable sensors, day/night target acquisition features, laser rangefinder and GPS system.
