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 Recovery variant will provide recovery support and design tradeoffs for the ACV until an ACV Recovery variant is fielded. Improvements to the fleet reduce total ownership costs and improve sustainability. The AAV Modifications Line procures modernized components and subsystems that impact safe and reliable use of the AAV such as the Water Egress Capability (WEC), Tactical Communication Modernization (TCM) to meet NSA's cryptographic modernization mandates, quarterly technical refresh of servers and laptops for Command-variant (C-Variant), and associated production support for the AAV FOV. Funding for the AAV FOV is critical to maintaining the amphibious capability of the USMC until the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) is fully fielded and operational.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The increase from FY 2021 to FY 2022 ($1.082M) is attributed to increased funding for Command and Control (C2) hardware and software technology refreshes required to continue operating the Command variant of AAV, government and contractor engineering services required to evaluate engineering change proposal modifications, systems integration of a tactical situational awareness solution, and additive manufacturing and science and technology test events, in order to maintain modern amphibious assault capabilities within the legacy AAV Fleet. Full funding in FY 2022 supports the programs ability to provide critical hardware and software technology refreshes to continue operating the Command variant, provide obsolescence support and engineering services needed to address performance and safety issues, provide lifecycle management to maintain fleet configuration, and test Additive Manufacturing effects for potential form/fit/function replacement of legacy components. The FY 2022 funding request was adjusted by $1.729M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
