The M113 family of vehicles is arguably the most successful series of armored personnel carriers of all time.

The driver was provided with four M17 periscopes, and his hatch had provision for an M19 infrared periscope. The commander's station, just aft of the driver, had a cupola equipped with five M17 periscopes and an M2 HB machine gun.
