The RBY Mk 1 is a light armoured reconnaissance vehicle produced by the RAMTA division of Israel Aircraft Industries in the 1970s. The name is an anglicised acronym of Rechev Ben-Yaacov, Hebrew for Ben-Yaacov's vehicle, after its creator Yitzchak Ben-Yaacov, and in Israel it was known as the Rabi. It was designed with mine resistance in mind: the wheels and axles sit as far forward and back as possible, the bumpers are fibreglass, the thickest armour is in the floor, and the hull was left without doors. It is light enough to be lifted by a heavy helicopter, seats six passengers back to back and carries pintle mounts for up to five machine guns. RAMTA moved production to the RAM vehicles by 1979.
