Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle
Abstract
The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is the materiel solution for replacement of the Army's Armored Personnel Carrier (M113) Family of Vehicles (FoV) within the Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). It will mitigate current and future capability gaps in force protection, mobility, reliability, and interoperability across the Spectrum of Conflict. The AMPV will replace five mission roles currently performed by the M113 FoV by transferring the current M113 Mission Equipment Packages (MEP) to a new Military Vehicle Derivative (MVD) platform. In total, the AMPV FOV will account for approximately 30% of the ABCT's tracked fleet and consists of the following five variants: 1. Mission Command (MCmd) Vehicle: This platform enables effective mission command planning and execution for both the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) and Tactical Command Vehicle (TAC) versions of the MCmd. It will host current Battle Command Systems, future replacements, and upgrades of hardware and software. 2. Medical Treatment (MT) Vehicle: This platform will provide a protected surgical environment, with adequate lighting and accessible medical equipment. It will provide a capability for immediate medical care for one patient by a medical crew of four. 3. Medical Evacuation (ME) Vehicle: This platform will conduct ambulance type activities and provide casualty evacuation for up to four litter or six ambulatory patients, with a crew of three medical attendants. 4. General Purpose (GP) Vehicle: This platform will operate throughout the battle space by conducting re-supply, maintenance, casualty evacuation, and other tasks within the formation. 5. Mortar Carrier (MC) Vehicle: This platform will provide immediate responsive fire support to conduct fast-paced offensive operations. The AMPV program has been initiated on the basis of a Capabilities Development Document (CDD) that was approved 21 June 2013. The CDD reflects a set of stable, technologically achievable requirements. A Milestone B (MS B) Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) was held 9 December 2014 and it was followed by an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) that was signed on 22 December 2014. The ADM approved MS B for the AMPV program and entry into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. In addition, the ADM authorized the Army to proceed with award of the EMD prime contract, which occurred 23 December 2014 to BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P. (BAE). The FY2014 Accomplishments described below largely reflect the lead-up to the MS B and award of the EMD contract. Included are efforts that are related to the preparation of MS B documents and efforts that are related to evaluation of EMD prime contract proposals. The FY2015 and FY2016 Planned Program are related to contractor efforts specific to the EMD prime contract and to Government efforts that provide oversight of the program and of the contract.
