Like most Canadian support units, this vehicle is just a regular old M113 protecting specialized equipment for a specific role. In this case, the equipment in question is the Blowpipe shoulder-mounted launcher.
In Team Yankee
The poor mans ADATS, the Blowpipe is capable of engaging almost anything. With AP 12, it might actually be pretty good at killing light tanks and APCs, though you probably wouldn't want to waste shots on infantry when you already have better options for that. Can't fire on the move, so a bit tricky to work with Canada's overall shoot'n'scoot mentality. Don't mistake this as an alternative to the ADATS or vice versa, as the two often need eachother to truly take advantage of their mutual multirole status.
Despite having the hatch swung wide open, the vehicle is not treated as being open-topped.
IRL
Just like the Spartan Blowpipe, you’re supposed to dismount from the vehicle to fire the weapon.
