Light wheeled armored military vehicle, purpose-built and used for passive reconnaissance
A Soviet BRDM-2, the most common modern scout car.
A scout car is a light wheeled armored military vehicle, purpose-built and used for passive reconnaissance.[1] Scout cars are either unarmed or lightly armed for self-defense, and do not carry large caliber weapons systems.[1] This differentiates them from other reconnaissance vehicles and wheeled armoured fighting vehicles that may fulfill a similar mission but also possess much heavier armament.[note 1] Scout cars are designed for carrying out observation and remaining undetected, while avoiding contact with the enemy.[3] Armies which adopted the concept were likelier to place an emphasis on reconnaissance by stealth, unlike others which preferred more heavily armoured reconnaissance vehicles, designed to fight to obtain information if necessary.[3]
