Description

The AAV7A1, formerly known as LVTP7, was designed to meet the requirements of the USMC for an armored, amphibious, fully tracked, assault vehicle. The AAV7A1 replaced the LVTP5 amphibious assault vehicle. The AAV7A1 can transport troops and cargo from ship to shore. It is powered by a single 400-hp turbocharged diesel V8 engine and two water jet pumps providing a cruising speed of 7 knots at sea and 72 km/h on road. The AAV7 survivability can be increased through add-on armor and the use of a 12.7mm machine gun and 40mm grenade launcher. Under the RAM/RS (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability/Rebuild to Standard) program some AAV7A1 will be powered with a 525-hp diesel engine and the suspension will be replaced with the M2 Bradley's suspension. The RAM/RS upgrade program intends to ensure the availability of the AA7 vehicles until they are replaced by the AAAV advanced amphibious assault vehicles.
