V UAFV (Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle) is a tracked light armored vehicle that serves as an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) in the armies of several countries. It is a development of the M113A1 armored personnel carrier. While the US was uninterested in the design, a number of other governments were interested in the vehicle, which was simpler, lighter, and cheaper than the Bradley. After a series of demonstrations and the delivery of four evaluation vehicles in 1974, the Netherlands government placed an order for 880 of the vehicles in 1975, which were designated YPR-765 ko so vstopili v uporabo. Na zahtevo nizozemske vlade so bile narejene nekatere spremembe, vključno s premikom orožne postaje na desno stran in premikanjem poveljnika za voznikom. Nizozemska je naročila 2.079, od katerih jih je bilo 815 proizvedenih lokalno po licenci. V okviru programa YPR-2000 so bila skoraj vsa nizozemska vozila nadgrajena na standard YPR-765A1 in jih je mogoče zlahka prepoznati po 3-tonskem Natovem kamuflažnem vzorcu. Med vojno v Afganistanu je bilo več vozil opremljenih z dodatnim oklepom.
