==Description== thumb|left|Bangladesh Army BOV M11 The BOV M11 has a primary role as a reconnaissance vehicle and command-reconnaissance vehicle. If used by artillery units, it could function as a remote observation post that observes an enemy and guides firing. Typically, an M11 is manned by a crew of 3, composed of a driver, commander, and gunner; the vehicle can accommodate up to four more personnel that could include scouts and the artillery command platoon’s commanding officer (CO).
The vehicle has a four-wheel drive and is powered by a diesel engine developing 190 hp. It may have specialized reconnaissance systems and artillery systems depending on its mission. The vehicle has a thermal camera sight at its front and a CCD camera at its rear. It is also equipped with an artillery electronic direction finder (AEG), artillery battery FCS computer, and other communications equipment.<ref name="SDPR2">{{Cite web |url=http://www.yugoimport.com/slike/yreport.pdf |title=Family of multi-role combat armored vehicles BOV M11 4x4 |access-date=17 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130423180814/http://yugoimport.com/slike/yreport.pdf |archive-date=23 April 2013 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
The vehicle is typically armed for day and night combat. Typically, the main weapon system is a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun on a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS). It is possible to integrate an additional RCWS with a 7.62 mm gun or 30 mm grenade launcher such as the BGA-30. Other M11 variants may be equipped with a BOV M10 RCWS with a 20 mm gun and 7.62 mm coaxial gun.<ref name="odin-tradoc">{{cite web |title=BOV M11 Serbian 4x4 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle |website=ODIN - OE Data Integration Network |url=https://odin.tradoc.army.mil/WEG/Asset/5107986fe30b59a15916bae9cfb1c596 |access-date=2024-12-24}}</ref>
