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 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 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.
