Assembly Vehicular Gunner Platform

An Assembly Vehicular Gunner Platform (AVGP) is a type of military vehicle that is designed to provide a platform for a gunner to operate heavy weapons from a protected position. AVGP vehicles are typically armored and equipped with a turret or weapon mount that can be operated by a gunner inside the vehicle.

AVGP vehicles were developed in the 1970s by the Canadian Armed Forces and were used primarily for reconnaissance and infantry support roles. The three main variants of AVGP vehicles are the Grizzly (armed with a 25mm cannon), the Cougar (armed with a 76mm cannon), and the Husky (armed with a 7.62mm machine gun).

These vehicles are typically used in a variety of terrains and can provide fire support to ground troops during combat operations. They are designed to be highly mobile and provide protection to the gunner while allowing them to engage targets effectively.

Overall, AVGP vehicles are an important component of modern military forces, providing a versatile and effective platform for vehicular gunners to operate heavy weapons in a combat environment.
