	Army - The Soldiers' Newspaper
		The LAV III, similar to the ASLAV, is capable of air deployment from C130H, and will greatly enhance the mobility of the NZ Army.
		The LAV III has the ability to only ford rivers up to 1.5m deep, whereas the ASLAV can cross inland water obstacles when current, wind and entry/exit points are suitable.
		The LAV III is purpose built to routinely carry seven passengers, with kit, and the ability to occasionally carry one additional passenger, whereas the ASLAV fitted with the same upgraded 25mm cannon turret only carries four passengers with equipment.

	LAV III - Light Armoured Vehicles - Performance Rating - Vehicle Comparison - Accidents and Rollovers - Suicide Bombers ...
		Unlike the vehicle to which it is usually compared, the LAV III is armed with a large, turret-mounted 25mm cannon.
		Invariably, the LAV III is parked beside a turretless M113 for a dramatic height contrast.
		In short, the LAV III’s crew are “exposed” because they have to be to do their job – in the turret hatches, the commander and gunner have a clear view in front and the sides.

	LAV or AGS for the Medium Brigade
		As can be seen, the LAV III is both better protected and more lethal than the M113 while the M8 Level II is much better armored and armed that the LAV-AG.
		On average, the LAV battalion appears to have faired better both in terms of survivability and in inflicting casualties on the attacking OPFOR force.
		The primary combat vehicle of the battalion, whether it is an M113 or a LAV, must be armed with a 25mm cannon or larger in order to provide sufficient support to the dismounted infantry force and kill the enemy’s supporting vehicles before they close to within 1,000 meters.

	General Motors LAV APC
		The LAV III is used almost exclusively by the Infantry Regiments of Canada, while the Coyote is used by the Armoured Regiment.
		When the CF purchased the LAV III APC and the COYOTE Reconnaissance Vehicle in the late 90s, they saw the opportunity to replace her aging fire support vehicle fleet.
		Laid out similar to the LAV III and Bobcat, the Timber Wolf was a replacement to the Cougar AVGP and a supplement to the Canadian Leopard I C2.

	The Stryker Argument - Military Photos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The LAV 25 is first generation and would be most closely related to Piranha I. The Canadian Bison APC and Coyote are LAV II.
		I think that the Aussie LAV is LAV II, and Saudi Arabia has either LAV I or LAV II in thier forces.
		The Stryker is LAV III, however it has a sligtly raised roof when compared to other LAV III.

		Although I never had occasion to drive the LAV III, I did drive its predecessor the Grizzly and, of course, the ubiquitous M113.
		The LAV III carries a 4 tonne turret which, on such a high platform, makes it prone to tipping over during erratic manoeuvres.
		The LAVs are much faster, which greatly improves their range for ops.

	NDM Article - Army Encounters More Delays In Deploying Combat Vehicle
		The LAV III is an eight-wheeled platform that weighs about 19 tons–less than a third of the Abrams M1A2 main battle tank that took so long to get to Kosovo.
		Still, the LAV III "is a brand-new acquisition for the United States Army," Kern said, "and it sets us on a path to change the organization and the culture of the Army."
		The LAV III is similar to vehicles already in use by the Marine Corps, National Guard and military services of Canada, Australia, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and other nations.

	Should Canada adopt the LAV III (AKA: Stryker) as its primary armoured vehicle family? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One must also remember that LAV III is not a tank and therefore should not be used as a tank, therefore new tactics and strategies need to be developed if an all wheeled fleet is adopted.
		You have phrased it nicely yourself when you said, "LAV III is not a tank and therefore should not be used as a tank." To assume that there will be no future need for a MBT is to suggest that one knows when, where, and how the next war will be fought.
		I‘m a firm believer that the purchase of the LAV III was the correct one for Canada and for the Army.

		Being larger overall than earlier Canadian wheeled LAVs, the LAV III CP would be a simple derivative of the Infantry Section Carrier but equipped with map tables and additional communications equipment.
		As a straightforward adaptation of the ISC, it is not surprising that the CP was the first LAV III derivative.
		The hull is that of the LAV III modified to mount a General Dynamics low-profile turret.

	NDM Article - Army Confident About Move To Wheeled Combat Vehicle
		Army officials have praised the choice of the eight-wheel LAV III as the vehicle for the so-called “interim brigade combat teams,” the front-line units that Shinseki conceived as a lighter, more mobile alternative to heavy brigades.
		The LAV is a derivative of Switzerland’s Mowag Piranha.
		As the Army moves forward with the fielding of the LAV, it also must prepare to conduct a comparative test between the infantry carrier version of the LAV and the M113, the service’s current light infantry tracked vehicle.

	Canadian LAV-3 rolls in Afghanistan: Murdoc Online
		While there's little doubt that an LAV has a higher center of gravity than, say, a tank, and is much more likely to roll over than, say, a tank, I'm a bit skeptical about that wild-eyed claims that so many seem to have made over the past few years.
		The fact that standard Canadian LAVs are armed with stabilized turrets sporting the reliable M242 Bushmaster 25mm chain gun probably, if anything, gives them an even slightly higher center of gravity than US Strykers.
		There's no doubt that the Strykers and LAVs have their downsides, but both the US and Canadian armies seem to be taking lessons learned and working hard to apply them to the real world.

		The LAV’s tires can be inflated or deflated from inside the vehicle to adapt to surfaces ranging from deep mud to hardtop, and it has run-flat tires, a built-in fire-suppression system and self-recovery winch.
		The LAV III is considered an “interim armored vehicle” because it is not the final vehicle that will equip the transformation “objective force” of the future.
		The tires of the LAV can be inflated or deflated from inside the vehicle to make it safer for different surfaces ranging from deep mud to hardtop, and the vehicle has run-flat tires.

	LAV III Load: Murdoc Online
		The reason LAV IIIs and Strykers are often called Canadian is that the chassis are built in Canada, and much of the weapons installations are done at the factory, or by the purchasing country (ie Australia).
		It appears to be an LAV III "Super Stryker" (I believe that is a totally unofficial nickname) similar to what New Zealand is planning to buy.
		I would appreciate any contacts into the New Zealand Army responsible for the LAV III, as their are now some valuable new capabilities available.

	Light Armored Vehicle (LAV)
		These programs will ensure that the LAV FOV will be capable of conducting its assigned missions through FY 2015 by enhancing lethality and survivability; reliability, availability, maintainability and durability; as well as reducing operations and support costs.
		Formal studies have concluded that the LAV structural integrity is sustainable at least through 2015.
		Many of LAV readiness issues are being/can be corrected by IROAN (Inspect/Replace Only As Necessary) and modernization through spares.

	The LAV-III Fails
		The LAV III at 105 inches is too wide to fit into the 105 inch floor width of a C-130.
		The bottom line is, the LAV III is not C-130 transportable in a practical way.
		I drove 113's for 4 years and have driven the LAV III for 2 years, so this opinion is based on first-hand experience.

		When DND’s procurement plans for the LAV III were slashed in half in the mid-1990s, among the cuts to a proposed family of vehicles based on this next-generation LAV was a replacement for M113 TUAs, the CF’s tracked APC-based TOW missile launchers.
		LAV TUA will be useful in all the ways that its tracked predecessor were (perhaps more so with its superior roadability).
		LAV TUA tests included firing the two new missile types at the US Army Redstone Arsenal range.

		The LAV III is the last derivative of the combat proven USMC LAV armored vehicle to be in active service well into the 21st century.
		In addition to the 25mm cannon, the LAV III turret also features a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun., a top-mounted 5.56 or 7.62mm machine gun, and one 76mm grenade launcher.
		LAV IIIs equipped with TOW anti-armor missile were scheduled for delivery to Canada between September 2005 and May 2006.

		The Canadian-built LAV III is an eight-wheeled armored car that would be used chiefly to transport troops.
		A spokeswoman for the Canadian Forces said an LAV III can be squeezed onto a C-130 if you let the air out of the tires.
		But the LAV III is at the extreme weight limit for a C-130, so under certain weather conditions, it couldn't take off with one aboard.

	Institutional response to the HIV blood test patent dispute and related matters
		LAV is clearly an inaccurate name and AIDS virus or AIDS related virus is the dumbest name I have yet heard...
		Gallo now says that the reference in his declaration to "no evidence" that LAV was the cause of AIDS was exclusively a reference to the published literature, not a general, all-encompassing reference.
		Gallo's reversal of his original conclusion that LAV and IIIb were genetically identical and his adoption of the "close but not the same" argument may account for his strongly negative reaction to a manuscript he received during the Fall of 1984.

	Halifax Live - No Charges by Military Police in LAV III Accident That Killed Canadian Soldier
		Access To Information documents obtained by the CBC last week showed that the army was "warned in May 2004 that speed and driver inexperience were frequent causes of rollovers involving the LAV III." A briefing memo prepared for military leaders suggested the armoured vehicle is limited in the type of terrain it can handle.
		In the six years the LAV III has been in use, two other Canadian soldiers have died in 10 rollover accidents.
		Last year in Bosnia, two Canadians were injured when their LAV III rolled into a ravine.
