- Project Waler was an unsuccessful Australian defence procurement exercise which sought to replace the Australian Army's M113 armoured personnel carriers with more capable armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs). It was initiated in 1980 and cancelled in 1985 without any vehicles being procured. The goal of the project was to replace the Army's M113s during the mid-1990s with between 500 and 1,000 AFVs optimised for Australian conditions and built in Australia. Several years worth of scoping work was carried out, but the project was cancelled by the Australian Government in July 1985 due to concerns over the cost and capabilities of the proposed vehicles.
