Abstract
AAV Survivability Upgrade will improve the legacy AAV Force Protection capability. Improvements include improved underbelly protection, integrated blast mitigating seats, integrated spall liners, protected fuel storage, sponson armor, and selected improvements to maintain required water and land mobility. AAV modifications will provide Nonrecurring Engineering (NRE) and design for AAV safety, obsolescence, and performance improvement engineering change proposals. The increase from FY17 to FY18 of $5.068M is due to development activities for R7 Modernization, Survivability Upgrade Hydraulic Moderation and continued electrical modernization for legacy AAV's and for the addition of C-variant requirements, which include the procurement of 2 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) vehicles (C-variants) and 1 Live Fire Test & Evaluation vehicle (C-variant).
