In 1964, the General Staff laid out the requirements for a new battle reconnaissance vehicle. Research and development, a full-scale prototype, and two stands for testing engineering solutions (one for testing of the cooling system, the other for testing the suspension and transmission) were finished in 1965. Further development resulted in the production of CVR(T) vehicles and their adoption into service with the British Army.
