(U)Amphibious Assault Vehicle

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 P-Variant and C-Variant survivability and force protection while maintaining the required land and water mobility performance.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by ($3.845) million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The decrease from FY18 to FY19 ($36.091M) represents the transition of AAV's Survivability Upgrade into the final year of P (Personnel)-variant testing. P-variant Initial Operational Test and Evaluation efforts (IOT&E), Full-Up System Level testing (FUSL) and developmental efforts for Production Qualification Testing/Reliability Qualification Testing (PQT/RQT) will be complete in FY19. The decrease also reflects the transition from P-variant Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) to C (Command)-variant Production Qualification Testing (PQT), Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E), Full Up System Level Testing (FUSL), and Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) testing.
