The M1127 reconnaissance vehicle (RV) is a wheeled armored personnel carrier in the Stryker family, developed and produced by General Dynamics Land Systems Canada (GDLS-C) and is currently in service with the US Army.
The RV provides an effective platform for RSTA squadrons and battalion scouts to perform reconnaissance and surveillance operations.
The platform is a key enabler for both sensor and HUMINT focused surveillance and intelligence operations.
Each of the recce platoons is organized with four Stryker reconnaissance vehicles, mounting either a 12.7 mm M2 .50 cal or a Mk 19 40 mm grenade launcher; the lead truck mounts a long range advanced scout surveillance system alongside its main weapon.
The reconnaissance vehicle is based on the ICV platform due to the close parallels of operational requirements and battlefield capabilities between the two systems.
