Lynx reconnaissance vehicle

The Lynx, officially the M113 1/2 Command and Reconnaissance Vehicle, is a tracked reconnaissance armored fighting vehicle developed in 1963 by FMC Corporation, the maker of the M113 armored personnel carrier, as a private venture after the United States Army chose the M114 instead. It was built on a shortened version of the M113 hull with four road wheels rather than five, carries a crew of three, and mounts a .50 caliber M2HB heavy machine gun as its main armament with a 7.62mm machine gun as secondary. The type was exported rather than adopted at home, serving with the Netherlands as the M113 C&V, with Canada as the Lynx, and later with Bahrain, Chile and Iran, which still operates around 84 former Canadian vehicles.
