BACKGROUND

The M-12A1 Warthog Light Anti-Armor Vehicle (LAAV) is an anti-armor variant of the M-12 Warthog LRV. The M41 12.7mm Light Anti-Aircraft Gun of the M-12 LRV is replaced with a triple-barreled 102mm rocket launcher. Like its counterpart, it is fast and highly maneuverable. Although the rocket launcher makes the Warthog LAAV an effective anti-armor weapon platform, the time required to reload the weapon after firing all three rockets leave the vehicle and its occupants vulnerable to counter-attacks.
