Miscellaneous Info:	The Badger International Light Armored Vehicle (ILAV) is built on a lengthened Cougar H 4x4 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle chassis.  Although very similar, it does not appear to have the same capabilities as the Cougar and seems to have been produced with lower costs in mind.  Originally named the Iraqi LAV, the name was later changed to the International LAV by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS).  GDLS markets the Badger as having five (5) variants, including an Exposive Ordnance Vehicle, Joint Rapid Response Vehicle, Patrol Vehicle, Training Vehicle and Troop Carrier.
