GDLS-Canada adapts common armoured platforms to command, ambulance, recovery and other support roles. Integration combines the protected vehicle, mission equipment and digital systems, with LAV 6.0 combat-support configurations distinct from the LAV 700 family. The expanded Canadian ACSV programme creates a concrete delivery context without proving that every advertised variant has the same configuration or acceptance status.
