Equipment status
Armored reconnaissance vehicles are used to equip mechanized troops or tank troops to carry out combat reconnaissance tasks. All major weapons producing countries in the world have equipped their mechanized troops or tank troops with armored reconnaissance vehicles developed and produced by themselves. In 1958, the Soviet Army began to equip the wheeled reconnaissance vehicle of type 1, which has been replaced by the wheeled reconnaissance vehicle of type 2. Each mechanized infantry division is equipped with 28 units, including 12 reconnaissance camps, 4 tanks and 4 Mechanised Infantry Regiment of 3 different equipment; Each tank division is also equipped with 28 units, including 12 reconnaissance camps, four mechanised infantry regiment and three tank groups each. In addition, there are more than 40 countries equipped with two-type wheeled reconnaissance vehicles.
The United States is now equipped with M3 crawler armored reconnaissance vehicles. Each tank regiment of the British army is equipped with 8 scorpion crawler reconnaissance vehicles and 3 Sultan crawler armored command cars; Each mechanized infantry battalion of the British Army stationed on the Rhine River is equipped with 8 machete crawler reconnaissance vehicles; the regular and reserve forces of the British Army are also equipped with Fox-style light wheeled reconnaissance vehicles. The French army is equipped with 284 AMX-10RC wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, 176 ERC90F4 javelin wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, 40 Panhard VBL wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, and also equipped with Panhard AML wheeled reconnaissance vehicles. The Federal Republic of Germany is equipped with 408 Tigercat amphibious reconnaissance vehicles.
The weapons equipped by armored reconnaissance vehicles vary according to the tasks performed. Vehicles that perform reconnaissance tasks under hidden conditions are generally equipped with small caliber artillery or machine guns, such as Tigercat 2 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles of federal Germany equipped with Rh202 20mm artillery, and then modified with E25 25 25mm artillery. Vehicles that mainly use fire contact for combat reconnaissance are generally equipped with relatively large caliber artillery, such as France's AMX-10RC wheeled reconnaissance vehicles equipped with 105mm artillery. In order to meet the needs of anti-tank warfare, some vehicles are equipped with anti-tank missiles or only anti-tank missiles in addition to artillery and machine guns. For example, the weasel crawler reconnaissance vehicle of federal Germany is equipped with ceramic anti-tank missiles.
The armored reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with a variety of reconnaissance and observation equipment, such as high magnification optical periscope, active infrared sight glass, low-light sight mirror, etc. The reconnaissance vehicles currently equipped are also equipped with modern reconnaissance instruments and equipment, such as laser rangefinder, ground target laser indicator, thermal imaging instrument, low-light television reconnaissance system, infrared alarm, nuclear radiation and chemical poison detector, etc.
The communication capability of reconnaissance vehicles is also increasing day by day. Some combine communication command and reconnaissance to form reconnaissance vehicles, such as Tigercat crawler-type reconnaissance vehicles made in the United States and equipped in Canada.
Armored Command car is generally equipped with the command department of mechanized troops or tank troops above the regiment, and carries out continuous command along with the maneuver warfare of mechanized troops or tank troops. Armored Command car is generally equipped with machine guns and other light weapons, which are mainly used for self-defense. Install multiple radio stations, receivers, various observation instruments, multi-function in-car communication systems, worktables and charts, etc. The armored command car currently used is equipped with multi-frequency (band) radio stations. Some command cars are also equipped with wired remote control system and additional tents. When conducting fixed-point command, tents can be set up at the rear of the car to form a studio outside the car.

Performance characteristics
The performance characteristics of armored reconnaissance vehicles are:
Light weight and flexible
This is determined by the role of armored reconnaissance vehicles. The weight of the vehicle is generally 6~16t, and more than 16t belongs to heavy reconnaissance vehicles, such as M3 crawler reconnaissance vehicles in the United States weighing 21.4t. Those below 6t belong to light reconnaissance vehicles, for example, the M11 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle developed by France in 1985 weighs 3.54t. The specific power of armored reconnaissance vehicles is generally about 20kW/t. Armored reconnaissance vehicles have strong cross-country capability and mobility, and can generally use both water and land. The highway speed of wheeled reconnaissance vehicles is generally about 100 km/h, and the crawler is about 60~80 km/h.
Civil use of parts
Most of the first reconnaissance vehicles are powered by civil diesel engines, but there are still gasoline engines, such as French ERC wheeled reconnaissance vehicles. In order to meet the needs of modern warfare, armored reconnaissance vehicles in some countries are powered by diesel gas engine. For example, Tigercat amphibious reconnaissance vehicles in federal Germany chose OM403A10-cylinder V-type exhaust turbocharging diesel gas engine.
Transmission devices also mostly use existing civil components, emphasizing flexible and convenient operation. Some models use full-automatic transmission, such as the V-600 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in the United States and the R3 Capra wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in Italy. Some models use pre-selected gear transmission, such as France's AMX-10RC wheeled reconnaissance vehicle and Britain's Fox-style light wheeled reconnaissance vehicle.
Considering the comfort of passengers, wheeled reconnaissance vehicles mostly adopt suspension devices with hydraulic shock absorber, while a few vehicles such as AMX-10RC wheeled reconnaissance vehicles in France also adopt advanced liquid-gas suspension devices. Crawler reconnaissance vehicles mostly adopt torsion bar suspension devices.
Strong protective performance
Armored reconnaissance vehicle adopts steel plate or aluminum alloy armor, which can generally prevent 12.7mm bullets and 155mm shrapnel formed by howitzer explosion near 6~9m. For example, the scorpion type in Britain and the AMX-10RC reconnaissance vehicle in France use aluminum alloy armor. In order to meet the needs of modern warfare, armored reconnaissance vehicles are generally equipped with three defense and smoke screen placement devices.
Weapon equipment diversification
The vehicle-mounted weapons of armored reconnaissance vehicles vary according to the tasks that the vehicles focus on. The types of weapons range from 7.62mm machine guns to 105mm artillery or anti-tank missiles.
Modernization of reconnaissance and sighting equipment
Armored reconnaissance vehicle reconnaissance instruments and sighting equipment widely adopt advanced photoelectric technology, focusing on night warfare capability. For example, the AMX-10RC wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in France has a group of 6 Periscope Zhou Shi Periscope groups. In order to improve the night warfare capability, it is equipped with a low-light television system, and the fire control uses a laser rangefinder and a computer.
The performance characteristics of armored command car are:
Its mobility and protective ability are basically the same as that of the base car. Most of the weapons equipped are used for self-defense, so the general equipment is light machine gun. In the command module, 2 to 8 people including commanders and staff officers can be taken. Strong communication ability, equipped with multiple radio stations, receivers, power generation equipment and sketching board, etc. For example, Japan's 82-type communication command car is equipped with 1 FM and AM radio station; China's YW701A and YW703 armored command car are equipped with 3 radio stations and 1 receiver respectively.
