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 based on Tariq main battle tank, 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]
