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 survivability and performance. The AAV program also includes a survivability upgrade which will increase AAVP7A1 survivability and force protection while maintaining the required land and water mobility performance. The decrease from FY16 to FY17 ($7.090M) represents acceleration of various AAV test efforts into FY16 and the completion of AAV intercom modernization and hydraulic analysis. The decrease also reflects fewer efforts in engineering technical services for Engineering Maintenance and Technical Support (EMTS) and decreased program management support due to the completion of the AAV prototype build in support of AAV Survivability Upgrade.
