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 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 software 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. In accordance with CMC Force Design, the order and testing of preplanned product improvements for the AAV program has come to an end; the program will continue to support the fleet of AAVs for emerging issues pertaining to design/redesign of parts and components for obsolescence, supportability, and safety issues through system retirement of the AAVP7s and AAVC7s in FY 2027 and the AAVR7s in FY 2029.
