Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle
Abstract
The Army is currently preparing a comprehensive Combat Vehicle modernization strategy, of which the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is one component. There are multiple other Combat Vehicles covered by this comprehensive strategy. Once the strategy is complete and approved, the AMPV will be prioritized in that strategy. The AMPV will provide the HBCT with a replacement for the M113 FOVs and recoup Space Weight and Power-Cooling (SWAP-C) and allow for growth potential. The AMPV will use a turretless Bradley A3 chassis and integrate the existing M113 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.
