The M1296 Infantry Carrier Vehicle Dragoon (ICVD) is an upgraded variant of the Stryker infantry carrier vehicle (ICV), designed to enhance the firepower of U.S. Army Stryker brigade combat teams (SBCTs). The vehicle integrates a 30 mm XM813 Bushmaster II autocannon in a Kongsberg MCT-30 remote turret, significantly increasing its lethality over the standard Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV). First delivered in December 2017, the ICVD was developed in response to operational demands for a more heavily armed Stryker capable of countering evolving threats on the battlefield. It is operated by two crewman and can carry up to 9 dismounts.
