The 25mm M242
Bushmaster remains the
weapon of choice but an
enhanced gunner thermal
sight, updated fire control
and an improved navigation
system mean more accurate
target detection and
identification, as well as greater
ability to share target data
with other assets
The driver's viewing
aid has been upgraded
with new camera
New LED lighting
and sensors replace
head lamps to give
the front bumper
and deck
a cleaner look
The LAV is the first army
vehicle to receive the Land
Command Support System
Life Extension and is
configured to accept and
integrate the new Battle
Management System
Although the LAV
is not entirely fitted for
vetronics, much of the
power pack and new drive
train are network
controlled
For added protection,
upper side armour
panels can be bolted
on when needed
