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 Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) until an ACV Recovery variant is fielded. 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 at the end of FY 2026 and the AAVR7s at the end of FY 2029.
