LAV-300 For Phillipine, Panama, and Kuwait
1995
The LAV-300 armoured vehicle range was developed by Cadillac Gage Textron (which in 1994 became part of Textron Marine & Land Systems) as a private venture specifically for the export market in the late 1970s. The vehicle was originally known as the V-300 and builds on experience in the development and production of the LAV-150 range of 4 × 4 light armoured vehicles covered in detail in a separate entry. Production of this has been completed and currently in production is the M1117 Guardian Armoured Security Vehicle of which over 1,000 have been built.
The first two prototypes of the LAV-300 were completed in 1979 and the first customer was Panama which, in 1982, placed an order for 12 LAV-300 vehicles in four different configurations including fire support vehicle with a two-person turret armed with a 90 mm CMI Defence Mk III gun, APC with twin 7.62 mm machine guns and recovery. All of these were delivered by the end of 1983.
