Assault Amphibious Vehicle 7A1
Abstract
The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) program provides life-cycle support to ensure cost-effective combat readiness for the AAV Family of Vehicles (FOV). This is accomplished through engineering changes resulting from continuous review of sub-systems to maintain system supportability, safety, reduce total ownership costs, improve fleet readiness, address obsolescence issues, and improve vehicle survivability and performance. The AAV program also includes a survivability upgrade which will increase AAVP7A1 survivability and force protection while maintaining the required land and water mobility performance. This upgrade is derived from the need for an operationally effective amphibious armored personnel carrier capability bridge until the future amphibious portfolio of vehicles reaches full operational capability. The increase from FY14 to FY15 represents the AAV Survivability Upgrade prototype build contract option award, and design engineering for AAV turret, power train, and suspension improvements; as well as nonrecurring engineering and design for AAV electrical characterization, automatic fire supression system, C2 system enhancements, and AAV obsolescence and safety modifications.
