The Dragoon 300 AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) was produced by Arrowpointe Corporation (now General Dynamics Land Division) during the 1980s.[2] It was based on the automotive components of the United States Army's M113 APCs and 5-ton trucks.[2] It resembles a larger V-150 Commando.
The Dragoon is made under license in Pakistan by Heavy Industries Taxila.[3]
