The Stryker CV is the command version of the Stryker ICV. The passenger compartment is occupied by a 3- or 4-man staff crew, and equipment carried can be modified for missions including command of a brigade; battalion; reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) squadron; battalion S3 (operations officer); and USAF air control party. Externally the M1130 is very similar to the M1126 on which it is based, but the command vehicle sports a larger number of antennae and masts on its roof. With all of the electronic equipment mounted in the vehicle, and air conditioning system was fitted as well.

The hull bottom was modified into a double-V shape beginning in 2010 in order to help mitigate the blast effect of mines and improvised explosive devices. The double-V hull (DVH) improvements also featured enhancements to the suspension system, wider tires, a height management system, and blast-resistant seating for the infantry squad. Further upgrades--including a 450hp engine; 60,000lb (27,000kg) suspension; 910-amp alternator; and an in-vehicle network--produced the Stryker A1 variant.
