Dawsar (Arabic: دوسر ) or MAP II (Modular Armored Platform) [1] is a heavily armored personnel carrier developed by King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau (now Jordan Design and Development Bureau). It is a Tariq main battle tank, or an upgraded version of Centurion. The Jordanian Army received four of these vehicles in 2014.[2]
The prime role of this vehicle is to support mechanized formation on the battlefield by accompanying main battle tanks. They are less vulnerable to anti-tank weapons than light APCs or IFVs. They may be used as a personnel carrier, ammunition carrier, armored ambulance and command post vehicle.[3]
