INTERIM ARMORED VEHICLE (IAV) FAMILY

Abstract

The Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) Family Project (C03) supports the development of the Family of Stryker vehicles. A critical need exists to improve the deployability and operational effectiveness of rapid response/early entry forces. The Stryker equipped Brigade Combat Team (BCT) is capable of deployment to anywhere on the globe in a combat ready configuration. Immediate response by a lethal, versatile, tactically agile joint force capable of operational maneuver once in the Area of Operations has been essential in fulfilling the warfighting needs of the U. S. Army. The Stryker family includes: Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), Reconnaissance Vehicle (RV), Mobile Gun System (MGS), Mortar Carrier (MC), Commander's Vehicle (CV), Fire Support Vehicle (FSV), Engineer Squad Vehicle (ESV), Medical Evacuation Vehicle (MEV), Anti-Tank Guided Missile Vehicle (ATGM), and Nuclear/Biological/Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV). The use of the common platform/common chassis design reduces requirements for repair parts and logistics support in the area of operations. Funding in this project will continue to address Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), survivability, Operational Needs Statements (ONS) issues, and integration of Targeting Under Armor (TUA)on the Stryker FSV.
