Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) - Scorpion Turret

Scorpion Turret

The Australian Army did not use CVR(T)s but did use the turret of the Scorpion mounted on top of M113 armored personnel carriers. Known in the Australian Army as the Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle, they were used in a fire support role. They have now been replaced by newer vehicles.

The Canadian Army also used the Scorpion turret. They were mounted on the AVGP Cougar. A total of 195 Cougars were originally procured, but the fleet was reduced to 100 vehicles in 1999 and are now exclusively employed by reserve armoured units.
