STRYKER
Interim Armored Vehicle
The Stryker Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) family was introduced to fill a US Army capability gap for a rapidly deployable armoured combat vehicle that required minimal logistical support and featured state-of-the-art technology. To achieve this, the “Medium Force” was an entirely new troop formation that had never existed before. This was to close the capability gap between light infantry units and heavy tank brigades.
For the first time this publication grants an overview over all Stryker variants, from its ICV basic model up to the most recent additions to the family.
