AAVC7A1

The AAVC7A1 has been designed to carry out command and control tasks at water or in land during amphibious operations involving the AAV7 vehicles. This vehicle also functions as a communications node between forward deployed forces and US navy ships. It is equipped with 5 radio operator stations, 3 staff stations and two master stations. It carries a 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.
