History

The Boxer CRV was developed by the European consortium ARTEC to meet the Australian Army's Land 400 Phase 2 program requirements, aiming to replace the aging ASLAV fleet. Following its selection in 2018, the first vehicles were delivered to Australia in 2019, officially entering service in 2021. While the vehicle has not yet seen active combat, it has been extensively deployed in major multinational training exercises such as Exercise Talisman Sabre. Today, the Boxer CRV is in active service and undergoing local production in Queensland, establishing a new benchmark for heavy wheeled reconnaissance capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.
