The M577 is a US tracked armored command post vehicle. It is based on an M113 armored personnel carrier chassis and is a member of the same vehicle family. First 4 prototypes, known as XM577, were converted from M113 APCs. Production began in the early 1960s. The M577 has been exported to a number of countries. Largest operators are Egypt (44), Greece (45) and Portugal (28). It has been license-produced in Italy by Oto Melara. Despite its age the M577 is still used around the world.
The M577 is basically an M113 with a raised rear part of the roofline. This vehicle is used as a tactical operations center.
Some user nations have added their own modifications to this armoured command vehicle. Italian license-produced version has some minor differences. Some of the countries, including Egypt and Germany, have their own specialised versions, of the M577.
