In the 2010s, the aging Australian Army launched the large-scale LAND 400 program to replace its outdated ASLAV wheeled armored vehicles. By the end of the decade, the military had held a competition for a new reconnaissance and combat vehicle, which the Boxer CRV won. The project involved delivering 211 Boxer 8x8 armored vehicles, with deliveries beginning in 2021 and concluding in 2026.

Delivery of the Boxer CRV was divided into two phases: Block I and Block II. Under Block I, the Australian Armed Forces received the first 25 vehicles, including reconnaissance and multipurpose variants. Rheinmetall Defence Australia (RDA) is manufacturing and assembling the remaining 186 Boxer CRV Block II vehicles in Australia. The Boxer CRV for the Australian Army is equipped with a two-seater German Lance turret armed with a 30mm automatic cannon and Spike LR2 anti-tank guided missiles. Boxer CRV Block II vehicles are currently in production and being delivered to troops.

The Australian CRV Block 2 was introduced as one of the rewards for the 2025 Winter Concert event. This fast, wheeled IFV is armed with a 30mm automatic cannon. Its ammunition load includes belts for destroying light targets and aircraft, as well as several types of armor-piercing shells. The Boxer is also equipped with Spike-LR II anti-tank guided missiles, which can engage tanks and helicopters from a considerable distance. Its level of protection average among light armored vehicles, but stands out for its active protection system installed on the sides of the hull. Disadvantages include the limited ATGM ammunition load and the vehicle's large size.
