(U)Amphibious Assault Vehicle

Abstract

This Program Element contains the Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) Modifications Line and the terminated AAV Survivability Upgrade (AAV SU) program. The AAV Modifications Line 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 SU program was designed to increase Personnel-Variant (P-variant) and Command-variant (C-Variant) survivability and force protection capabilities while maintaining the required land and water mobility performance. The USMC decided to terminate the AAV Survivability Upgrade (AAV SU) program in order to better align to the National Defense Strategy; the remaining AAV SU funding will be utilized for program cancellation, which is expected to take from 12-24 months to complete. Funding to maintain and sustain the legacy AAV fleet will continue herein through the AAV Modifications Line.
