The Boxer CRV was the vehicle selected in March 2018 to become

AMV35 offered by a conglomerate of BAE Systems Australia, BAE Systems Haaglunds & Patria, PLC.
The Boxer CRV will replace the aging
ASLAV-25 Reconnaissance Vehicle. Later phases of the project are
dedicated to the selection of a new Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Maneuver
