Dragoon AFV
The Dragoon 300 AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) was produced by Arrowpointe Corporation (now General Dynamics Land Division) during the 1980s. It was based on the automotive components of the US Army's M113 APCs and 5 ton trucks. It resembled a larger V-150 Commando.
==History==
With the end of the Sixties, the United States Army Military Police Corps expressed the need for a vehicle, capable of being transported by Lockheed C-130 aircraft, which was intended to provide base protection, as well as carrying out convoy escort duties. This eventually led to a formal requirement being issued in 1976. However the requirement was allowed to lapse, probably due to budgetary pressures of the time. Despite this, one of the firms that had expressed an interest in meeting the requirement, the Verne Corporation, decided to build two prototypes of a vehicle which was initially called the Verne Dragoon. These prototypes made their first public appearance in 1978. The Dragoon is of a very similar configuration to that of Cadillac Gage V-100 and the vehicles 4 X 4 general-purpose of the V-150 range, but it in common has several parts with the tracked transport of troops M-113A2 and the truck M-809 6 X 6 5 Ton.
