The LAV is an armored recovery vehicle used to clean up the aftermath of mine clearance operations. It has a light-weight chassis and utilizes parts from civilian vehicles, but can carry heavy equipment such as minesweepers. Despite being relatively inexpensive, it can only operate when accompanied by a support vehicle, and is essential for demining activities. Its features include a left-right symmetrical hull, a right-hand drive cab, a single engine, rear-wheel drive, and a mine plow mounted on the front. Other features include a civilian vehicle-based chassis, a cost-effective design, rear exhaust, and side-mounted mirrors.
