About the Stryker M1130 CV vehicle:

The Stryker M1130 CV (Commander Vehicle) is an armored command vehicle based on the Stryker platform, which plays a key role in Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT). Its main task is to provide commanders with the ability to receive, analyze, and transmit data, as well as control forces carrying out combat missions. With integration into C4ISR systems, this vehicle enables commanders to plan missions even during air transport.

History and construction:

The Stryker is a family of wheeled armored vehicles that entered service in the United States Army in 2002. Their design is based on the Canadian LAV III armored vehicle. These vehicles were designed with mobility and ease of transport in mind, which was crucial in the context of modern military requirements. The Stryker M1130 CV, as a command vehicle, plays an essential role in ensuring that commanders have full situational awareness on the battlefield.

Armament and armor:

The primary armament of Stryker vehicles includes the remotely operated M153 CROWS II weapon station, which can be equipped with a Mk 19 grenade launcher or a Browning M2 machine gun. The vehicle's armor is made of high-quality steel plates reinforced with ceramic plates, providing protection against anti-tank projectiles and artillery shrapnel. Additional anti-cumulative shields can be mounted to protect against attacks from handheld anti-tank grenade launchers.

Operational use:

The Stryker M1130 CV is a key operational element in Stryker brigades, enabling commanders to synchronize and effectively manage dispersed and highly mobile forces. Thanks to the shared platform with the Stryker ICV transport vehicle, the command vehicle has reduced maintenance and logistical support requirements.
