The VBC-90 (Véhicule Blindé de Combat de 90 mm) is a French six-wheel drive light armoured vehicle. It was designed by Renault Véhicules Industriels on its own funds in the late 1970s based on the VAB from which it took many of its components (engine, gearbox, suspensions and tyres). It is equipped with the TS 90 light turret designed by the GIAT. 28 VBC-90G (G for Gendarmerie) were used by the mobile gendarmerie between 1981 and the early 2000s, their purpose was to replace the ageing AMX-13s in internal security missions. The GBGM will receive 32 examples which will serve from 1983 to 2004. The GIAT TS 90 turret is equipped with a 90mm F4 cannon supplied with 27 shells, and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun supplied with 1000 cartridges. This turret equipped with numerous optics (shooting scope, laser rangefinder, etc.) quite advanced for the time, was also adopted for the Panhard ERC 90 Sagaie.
