The BOV (Serbian: Борбено оклопно возило (БОВ), romanized: Borbeno oklopno vozilo (BOV), lit. 'Combat Armored Vehicle'), is an all-wheel drive armoured vehicle manufactured in the former Yugoslavia and today in Serbia. The vehicle's second generation is currently in production.

The BOV has a capacity of 10, including a driver, gunner and eight infantrymen. The vehicle has a four-wheel drive and is powered by the Deutz type F 6L 413 F six-cylinder diesel engine developing 150 hp (110 kW) at 2650 rpm.

The BOV was used for internal security and military duties. It was most commonly used by territorial defence units, in several variants equipped with machine guns, water cannons, smoke and tear gas dispensers for crowd control and riots.

BOV has a long combat use on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the first riots in Slovenia and Croatia, military police units of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) often used BOVs that have mainly served to protect convoys of the JNA. Also many airplanes were shot down over Croatia by self-propelled guns PSC BOV-3. Many BOV armored vehicles were lost mainly due to their weak armor protection. BOVs have also been massively used during the Kosovo conflict by the Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro and the Police of Serbia. In combination with T-55 tanks, M-80 infantry fighting vehicles and supported by infantry, the BOV-3 anti-aircraft variant was used to clear villages of the Kosovo Liberation Army.^{[citation needed]}

Nowadays, the BOVs in the Serbian Armed Forces are used by the Military Police (BOV-VP) and in army mechanized armor battalions (BOV M83). BOVs are also used by the special police forces of Serbia, Republika Srpska, and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Second generation BOV is currently in development in serial production by Yugoimport SDPR. It has a new four-wheel drive and is powered by the Cummins diesel engine. It has weight about 11 tons, new transmission, new communications devices and protects crew against 12.7mm caliber guns and all anti-armor land mines. New generation BOV has integrated air-condition and independent battery power source that enables all functions working without engine turned on, thus enabling silent operation. It has few variants planned, including different commend variants, scout, armed, military police and as personnel carrier. Current known versions are armed with RCWS consisting of 7.62mm Zastava machine-gun and 40 mm grenade launcher or 12.7mm Zastava manned turret. Scout versions have mast with high-resolution day and night cameras, data link to transmit all information in real time to command center. Command versions have additional internal posts with displays for viewing tactical situation. It can carry up to six soldiers in scout and personnel carrier variant.

The BOV M15 is an armored combat vehicle created from a significant modernization and modification of the BOV-VP. This armored vehicle is mainly intended for all types of police, such as the Military Police and the Gendarmery. The BOV M15 is primarily designed to perform both police and military tasks. Unlike its previous basic version BOV-VP which was designed and constructed in the time of the former Yugoslavia, they were removed and through deep modernization almost all segments and characteristics of the vehicle were raised to a higher level, the main shortcoming of the BOV-M86 was armored protection that proved weak during the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The BOV M15 remained on the same chassis as its predecessor, which is the chassis of the TAM-110 military truck.

Protection: The protection is significantly enhanced on the BOV M15 in contrast to the basic version, and amounts to:
