The Armadillo was an extemporized improvised armoured fighting vehicle produced in Britain during the invasion crisis of 1940–1941. Based on a number of standard lorry (truck) chassis, it comprised a wooden fighting compartment protected by a layer of gravel and a driver's cab protected by mild steel plates. Armadillos were used by the RAF Regiment to protect aerodromes and by the Home Guard.

(en) L'Armadillo Armoured Fighting Vehicle era un veicolo corazzato improvvisato prodotto in Gran Bretagna nel 1940 quando esisteva il rischio che l'isola potesse essere invasa dalle forze tedesche. L'Armadillo veniva utilizzato dalla RAF per la protezione degli aeroporti e successivamente dalla Home Guard. Il veicolo era realizzato utilizzando diversi telai standard di camion destinati al mercato civile sui quali veniva realizzato un compartimento di combattimento in legno e ghiaia, che veniva utilizzata quale materiale di protezione mentre la cabina veniva protetta con piastre di acciaio medio.
