Description

The AAVR7A1 is designed to recover AAV7 or smaller vehicles. Also carries basic maintenance equipment to provide support to damaged vehicles. It features an M60 7.62mm machine gun for self-defense purposes. The AAV7 vehicles can be upgraded to the RAM/RS (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability/Rebuild to Standard) configuration which turns conventional AAV7 hulls into highly mobile machines transporting cargo and troops from ship to shore. The US Marine Corps completed the RAM/RS remanufacturing program in 2006. The modification work was done by United Defense, now a BAE Systems subsidiary. RAM/RS was originally designed to encompass a more powerful turbocharged diesel engine and power train and a Bradley Combat System suspension, providing superior durability and maintainability.
