Program Background upgrades as a bridge to the planned Amphibious Combat Vehicle Phase 1 Increment 1. The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) was initially fielded in 1972 as the Landing Vehicle Program Status Tracked 7 (LVT7). It was subsequently renamed the AAV7 and upgraded to the AAV7A1 The AAV Survivability Upgrade Program entered configuration in the late 1980s; and it was the acquisition cycle at Milestone B during FY14 upgraded to the AAV7A1 RAM/RS (Reliability and began the engineering, manufacturing, and Availability Maintainability/Return to Standard) development phase. The program improves configuration between 1998 and 2007.

The AAV Family of Vehicles consists upgrades. Currently slated for 361 AAV of the AAVP7A1 personnel variant, the AAVC7A1 personnel and 44 AAV Command variants, the command and control variant, and the AAVR7A1 upgrades will provide Marine Corps operational recovery variant. The AAV is scheduled to forces with four battalions of lift plus some remain in service until at least 2035, requiring additional support capabilities. The program’s

2017 PEO LS Advanced Technology Investment Plan | 101 developmental testing is currently ongoing. Milestone C, authorizing entrance into the production and deployment phase, is scheduled for FY17, with an Initial Operating Capability slated for FY19.

Upcoming efforts will focus on numerous subsystems and components that will require technology refresh and/or upgrades; they include fuel tanks, fire suppression, radios and intercoms, suspension, and driver’s display. The requirements of the AAV Survivability Upgrade Program and legacy sustainment may be met with non-developmental items and mature technology. The following areas, however, may offer opportunities where advanced technology could benefit the AAV.

AAV’s Top Technical Issues 1. Survivability Technologies that provide advances in ceramic and layered armor, blast seats, and spall liner to improve survivability and reduce weight would benefit the AAV Survivability Upgrade.

2. Weight/Buoyancy Management Enhancing survivability will likely add weight to the AAV. Alternative lightweight, economical materials, along with design improvements to increase and protect buoyancy, would benefit the AAV Survivability Upgrade.

3. Reliability/Sustainment The AAV is a 40-year-old platform that will remain in service for years to come. The day- to-day logistics, maintenance, and technical challenges of managing such a dated platform would be mitigated by advanced technology that increases reliability and reduces operation and maintenance support costs, which could include advances in weapon station technology (single and dual mount systems) that specifically address operation in an amphibious environment. Advances in diagnostics and modernized maintenance management would also benefit the AAV fleet.

The ACV 1.1 is expected to achieve Initial established. ACVs will provide a very robust Operational Capability (IOC) in FY 2020.

2017 PEO LS Advanced Technology Investment Plan | 109 ACV 1.1’s Top Technical Issues 1. Survivability Technologies that provide lightweight survivability solutions with specific focus on blast and direct fire protection are needed for the ACV.

2. Weight Technologies that provide lightweight solutions for vehicle materials and components are needed for the ACV to achieve future survivability, lethality, and mobility upgrades.

3. Crew Visibility The ACV crew must maintain direct sensory knowledge of their surroundings to safely and effectively employ the system. This requirement includes, but is not limited to, fully blacked out land/water operations, station keeping, obstacle detection (including near- surface obstacles), and operation in urban environments. Technologies that provide the necessary situational awareness for the crew are critical to the execution of the ACV mission.

Program Background The LVSR can travel up to 65 miles per hour on paved surfaces and ford five feet of water. The Logistics Vehicle Systems Replacement It has a cruising range of 300 miles. Built by (LVSR) system serves as the Marine Corps’ Oshkosh Corporation, the tactical-distribution heavy logistics vehicle and transports large heavy hauler is capable of carrying fuel, quantities of supplies across the battlefield. The water, ammunition, standardized containers, LVSR is deployed in the Marine Logistics Group, palletized cargo and heavy equipment. Marine Divisions, and Marine Aircraft Wings. The all-wheel drive LVSR has a straight body The LVSR includes three variants: MKR 18 design supporting its three distinct variants. Cargo, MKR 16 Tractor, and MKR 15 Wrecker. The LVSR, with a standard two-person cab (and The 5 axle vehicle has a 22.5-ton (20,412 a third position for an optional machine gunner kilograms) on-road/16.5-ton (14,969 kilograms) position), uses Oshkosh’s TAK-4™ independent off-road payload, a 600-horsepower diesel suspension system for improved mobility and engine, integrated control and diagnostic off-road maneuverability. The acquisition electronics, and factory-installed armor objective of 2,246 vehicles has been fielded. integrated into the vehicle design.

2017 PEO LS Advanced Technology Investment Plan | 147 Program Status

The LVSR MKR 18 Cargo variant achieved Initial Operating Capability in September 2009, and the first LVSRs were deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom in support of the Mobile Trauma Bay in that same month. The LVSR is currently in sustainment.

LVSR’s Top Technical Issues: 1. Fuel Consumption Given the LVSR’s 2.0 miles per gallon fuel consumption rate and the fully burdened cost of fuel, even a moderate increase in fuel efficiency can potentially save lives and millions of dollars. Practical, cost-effective technologies are required to increase the fuel efficiency of the LVSR while maintaining payload capacity and mobility.

2. Increased Survivability Technologies are required that maintain or increase survivability of the vehicle and occupants from emerging threats, including technologies that can increase armor protection while maintaining or reducing current weight; improvements in blast resistant seats; crew egress systems; and advanced fire-suppression systems. New methods to mitigate or repair current protection systems issues such as transparent armor delamination are critical to the ongoing sustainment of the Armored LVSR fleet.

3. Safety Safety technologies are required to increase vehicle-to-driver feedback, vehicle control and vehicle stability. They are also needed to mitigate the effects of vehicle rollovers while maintaining the ability of the LVSR to achieve its 30% on-road/70% off-road mission profile.

Reduction in Occupant Accelerations with Minimal Stroke Distance Availability The ground vehicle survivability community and vendors have developed high performing blast attenuating occupant seats that protect against significant mine blast charge weights over the last 10-15 years. Many of these seats function by allowing the seat to stroke downwards while an energy attenuating mechanism absorbs the accelerative load. Finding improved seating systems that can provide blast attenuation with minimal downward stroke while allowing components or stowage under the seat is optimal for supporting the Marines and their internal vehicle load plan.
