Armored Multipurpose Vehicle

Abstract

The Army has completed a comprehensive Combat Vehicle modernization strategy, which includes the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV). The AMPV will provide the HBCT with a replacement for the M113 Family of Vehicles (FOVs) that is more survivable and mobile to accomplish operational support missions across the full spectrum of conflict. The AMPV will be designed with growth margin in anticipation of inbound and future interoperable capability. The AMPV will use a turretless Bradley A3 chassis and integrate the existing M113 Mission Equipment Packages (MEPs) for the General Purpose, Mortar and C2 vehicles. The MedEvac vehicle will integrate the CAIMAN Hagga system. This provides the AMPV fleet the capability to support the Abrams Tank, Bradley IFV and Ground Combat Vehicle in the HBCT. This also provides the HBCT commander with necessary capabilities to employ mounted and dismounted schemes of maneuver on current and future battlefields.
