The Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle (MRV) replaced the FSV, also as an interim vehicle. The Army took delivery of 36 Scorpion turrets in 1977 and fitted them to the M113 hull to give the them the MRV. The MRV had a 76mm main armament, two .30 cal machine guns and an early image intensification night sight. The MRV was also fitted with flotation pods to make it amphibious. By 1978 the MRV had completely replaced the FSV in the Regiment

The vehicle runs on tracks (each weighing approx. one tonne) to allow it to cover a large variety of ground types and can tackle forward slopes of 60% and side slopes of 30%. The vehicle is amphibious with little preparation and can cross rivers and lakes
