In Fiction
The DPV has appeared in many video games and movies.
- The DPV is the primary American attack vehicle in the 1986 Chuck Norris film "Delta Force". They are armed with .50 Cal machine guns.
- The DPV was also seen in Three Kings. It is referred to as a Chenowth. It is the vehicle used by PV2 Walter Wogaman, to ferry around, and is later stolen by Adriana Cruz.
- Two DPVs were used by the Sector 7 team to transport the Allspark in the live-action film Transformers (2007). Accordingly, the toy line released alongside the movie used the DPV as the basis for the Autobot Landmine. It is implied on the toy's packaging that the Allspark granted the vehicle a Spark off-camera.
- The DPV appears in Battlefield 2 for the United States Marine Corps and the European Union. It later makes a reappearance in Battlefield 3's Back to Karkand expansion pack.
- The DPV, referred to by its original title of Fast Attack Vehicle or FAV, appears in the 1994 film In the Army Now, in which a group of wayward water supply troops led by Pauley Shore use them to conduct a raid upon a Libyan SCUD missile base.
- The DPV is used as the Brotherhood of Nod's primary fast attack, anti-infantry, and scouting vehicle in Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. It is armed with an M60 machine gun in gameplay, though it appears to mount an M134 Minigun in renders and cutscenes.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“The acceptance that all that is solid has melted into the air, that reality and morality are not givens but imperfect human constructs, is the point from which fiction begins.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
—Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)
