The BOV M11 is part of the BOV family of light armored vehicles. The M11 is a 4x4 all-wheel drive vehicle specialized in reconnaissance. It is manufactured in Yugoimport SDPR factory in Velika Plana, Serbia. [2]
The BOV M11 has a primary role as a reconnaissance vehicle and command-reconnaissance vehicle. If used by artillery units, it could function as a remote observation post that observes an enemy and guides firing. Typically, an M11 is manned by a crew of 3, composed of a driver, commander, and gunner; the vehicle can accommodate up to four more personnel that could include scouts and the artillery command platoon’s commanding officer (CO).
The vehicle has a four-wheel drive and is powered by a diesel engine developing 190 hp. It may have specialized reconnaissance systems and artillery systems depending on its mission. The vehicle has a thermal camera sight at its front and a CCD camera at its rear. It is also equipped with an artillery electronic direction finder (AEG), artillery battery FCS computer, and other communications equipment. [3]
The vehicle is typically armed for day and night combat. Typically, the main weapon system is a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun on a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS). It is possible to integrate an additional RCWS with a 7.62 mm gun or 30 mm grenade launcher such as the BGA-30. Other M11 variants may be equipped with a BOV M10 RCWS with a 20 mm gun and 7.62 mm coaxial gun. [4]

The 37 mm gun M3 is the first dedicated anti-tank gun fielded by United States forces in numbers. Introduced in 1940, it became the standard anti-tank gun of the U.S. infantry with its size enabling it to be pulled by a jeep. However, the continuing improvement of German tanks quickly rendered the 37 mm ineffective and, by 1943, it was being gradually replaced in the European and Mediterranean theaters by the more powerful British-developed 57 mm gun M1. In the Pacific, where the Japanese tank threat was less significant, the M3 remained in service until the end of the war, but some 57mm guns were issued.
