Canada doesnt use the LAV 25, but if you look at the American's LAV 25s youll find lots of little tiny maple leaves on almost every part...!

Ahhh the LAV 25 Canadian varient is the Coyote... I guess you learn somthing new everyday, arent the Coyotes loosing production now though? I thought the main focus was now LAV 3s...

not my trade... i dont use Coyotes, i use LAV3's.... but i heard that they are trying to put the Coyote's systems in the LAV3.... but i think that they should keep the Coyote for a RECCE Veh since it has a lower profile then the LAV3.

you got her, heres some general info about it

The Coyote is a vital component of the army's leading-edge battlefield systems. This highly mobile, well-armed and well-protected reconnaissance variant of the Light Armoured Vehicle family is employed in the conduct of battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance missions at the battlegroup and brigade levels. Incorporating both radar and a variety of electro-optic sensors, the Coyote surveillance system provides an all-weather, day and night observation capability. The Coyote is in use with the Army's six mechanized infantry battalions, the three armour regiments and their respective schools.

The most innovative aspect of the Coyote is its surveillance system, designed to detect hostile forces using a combination of day camera, radar, thermal imaging, and laser range-finding equipment.

Designed to operate in the world's hot spots, the Coyote is armed and armoured to fulfil its mission. The ballistic-steel hull protects against small-arms fire, mines and high-explosive airbursts. Add-on armour protects against larger projectiles. The two-man electric-drive turret is equipped with a laser-warning receiver. A fully stabilized 25-mm chain gun provides light assault firepower. On roads the vehicle's maximum speed is 100 km/h, with a maximum range of 660 km. It can deploy quickly to an area accessible by roads or trails, and then continue cross-country. A mast-equipped version of the vehicle raises its surveillance gear 10 m above the ground to see hostile forces over obstacles and from protected positions.

Armament:
25-mm stabilized M242 chain gun
7.62-mm stabilized coaxial machine gun
7.62-mm top-turret mounted machine gun
76-mm grenade launcher (2 clusters of 4 launchers)

Gun Sights: Daytime optical, Thermal Imagery (TI), Generation III Image Intensification (II)

Surveillance System: Battlefield Surveillance Radar, Thermal Imager, Daylight camera, and Laser Range-finder(i dont know the accronyme of the system, i will have to check at work)

Virtual tour can be taken here(requires quicktime) Coyote

Just to set the record straight:

The (original) Coyote is a variant of the Mowag Piranha I, having 6 wheels, as is the LAV-25, but having 8 wheels. Both are considered RECCE (as in "Becky", short for Reconnaissance) vehicles. The LAV-25 is used mostly by the USMC Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) for recon. Regular Marine Units get to ride in the wonderful AAV-7's.

The LAV III is a variant of the Mowag Piranha III, as is the Stryker line of vehicles the US Army uses. The LAV III would be considered to be more of an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, since it carries a 25mm chain gun for fire support, where as the common Stryker (M1126 ICV) is more of an Armored Personnel Carrier, since it has lighter armament (common CROWS systems, M2 and Mk 2).

The most noticeable difference between these two lines are:
Piranha I: Anlged Front/Nose
Piranha III: Square Front/Nose

To get back on topic, the MMEV is using the Piranha III chassis, common to the LAV III.
