The TAPV, or Tactical Armored Patrol Vehicle, represents Textron's venture into armored vehicle development, building upon the combat-proven foundation of the M1117 Guardian armored security vehicle utilized by the US Army. Developed as a private initiative, the TAPV was specifically engineered for asymmetric warfare scenarios. In 2012, the Canadian Armed Forces placed an order for 500 units of this vehicle, with an option for an additional 100. Originally slated for delivery in 2014, delays pushed the commencement of deliveries to 2016, with the entire order anticipated to be fulfilled by around 2018. This new addition gradually phased out the RG-31 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle previously in service with the Canadian Armed Forces, with approximately 200 TAPVs designated for reconnaissance duties and the remainder serving as armored personnel carriers.
