The AIFV or Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle was a private venture developed in the early 1970s by Based on M113 components, it was designed to allow infantry to fight from within the vehicle by providing them with firing ports for their personal weapons. The Netherlands Army for testing ordered four of them. They were delivered by FMC in 1974.Extensive testing by the Dutch made it necessary to make some changes to meet their requirements including relocating the commander to the left side of the vehicle in a spot behind the driver and moving the weapons station to the right front of the hull.

FMC received a production contract from the Netherlands in April 1975 with the first vehicles to be delivered in 1977. The Dutch designation for the vehicle was YPR-765. The AIFV has a crew of 3 and can carry up to 7 infantrymen. Two firing ports are located in each side of the vehicle with two more in the rear door. The main armament is located in a small turret, which is called an enclosed weapons station. In addition to its base aluminum hull armor, the AIFV also has laminate steel armor mounted on the front and sides of the hull.

The AIFV has been in service with the Dutch Army since 1977. Several other countries including Belgium, Egypt, the Philippines and Turkey, just to name a few, also use it.
