A modified M113 set up with the American TOW-II missile system.
In Team Yankee
This is the only Canadian TOW platform, use it wisely. AP 21 is nothing to scoff at, and when backed up by an ADATS or two, big scary tanks shouldn't be much of a threat to your efforts. Be aware that it is open-topped.
IRL
The M150 was the predecessor to the M901 ITV (hence why it's called the "Improved TOW Vehicle") back before the US really bought into the concept of missile carriers. The idea was to simply provide more mobility to dismounted TOW teams rather than have a dedicated missile-armed tank destroyers. After the Yom Kippur war, the US changed their tune and quickly replaced their M150s with M901s.
