(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 performance. The AAV FOV is expected to continue to be in service until 2030 as it is replaced by ACV. The Recovery variant will provide recovery support and design trade offs for the ACV until an ACV Recovery variant is fielded. The AAV program also included a Survivability Upgrade, which was designed to increase Personnel (P-Variant) and Command (C-Variant) survivability and force protection, while maintaining the required land and water mobility performance. The USMC decided to terminate the Survivability Upgrade program near the end of FY2018 in order to better align with the National Defense Strategy. Program life-cycle support for the AAV Family of Vehicles (FOV) will continue herein under the AAV Modifications Line.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $2.782M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The increase from FY2020 to FY2021 ($0.993M) is primarily attributed to increased funding for government and contractor engineering services to evaluate engineering change proposal modifications, post AAV SU termination, in order to maintain modern amphibious assault capabilities within the legacy AAV Fleet.
