One role is to form part of the Scout platoons of a LRSG Cavalry Company/Troop.

This would be a complimentary system to the M8 light tank and unlike that vehicle would be helicopter transportable. The Tankita concept was to evolve into a 76mm armed vehicle based on M113 components. The idea of a modern M113 C&R Lynx-type vehicle was to become the Terrier. The STOAT vehicle based on the Wiesel would probably be too lightly armoured to face RPG equipped forces and the manufacturers of the Wiesel seem strangely uninterested in American sales. With hindsight I realize some of the ideas that I suggested may not be viable. This is a rather long article exploring the concept of compact armoured vehicles.
