Anybody know what this particular bit of kit is?

 

The tall periscopey thingy. This is mounted on the back of a Canadian LAV III, it is there on operations and on exercise so seems to be permanently mounted. It has glass "windows" on it and I suspect it's some form of IR jammer or similar. But does anybody know what it is?

It's an AN/MVR-501

 

That's a laser detecting set that informs and assists crews with verification of impending threats from laser target acquisition weapons systems.
