	Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle
		The Marine Corps is developing the AAAV to replace the AAV as its primary combat vehicle for transporting troops on land and from ship to shore.
		The AAAV will be the principal means of armored protected land and water mobility and direct fire support for Marine infantry during combat operations.
		Based on this unique mission profile, the AAAV must leverage state of the art advances in water propulsion, land mobility, lethality and survivability.

	[No title]
		The AAAV is envisioned by USMC leaders as the third and newest element in an "amphibious triad" that will greatly enhance the speed, range, maneuverability, firepower and survivability of forces moving from ship to shore, and then into the enemy interior.
		The objective of the AAAV program is to make this mission possible by transforming the ocean from an obstacle into a medium of maneuver, not unlike the way U.S. armored forces turned vast expanses of empty desert to their advantage during Operation Desert Storm.
		The AAAV is expected to fully replace its predecessor in the force by 2011, and remain the principal USMC amphibious assault vehicle until 2030.

	AAAV-A Triple Threat
		There are a number of new technologies, such as the advanced assault amphibian vehicle (AAAV), the MV-22 tilt-rotor helicopter, LPD 17, and the already in service landing craft, air cushion (LCAC) which will greatly enhance the capabilities of an amphibious force in the future.
		The AAAV, the focus of this paper, is a quantum leap from the current Assault Amphibian Vehicle (AAV).
		To begin with, employment of the AAAV launched from over-the-horizon (OTH) means a greater standoff distance for the sea based force.

	NDM Article - Marines Testing Prototypes Of New Amphibious Vehicle
		The AAAV is one of three vehicles–along with the Marines’; V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and the Navy’s air-cushioned landing craft (LCAC)–that the Corps is counting on to enhance its ability to sweep in from the sea, assault an enemy shoreline and overwhelm entrenched hostile forces.
		The AAAV is the most recent in a series of amphibious tractors–or amtracs–that began in the 1930s, as the Marines prepared for their island-hopping campaigns against the Japanese in World War II.
		The AAAV is being developed jointly by the Marines and General Dynamics Land Systems, based in Sterling Heights, Mich. General Dynamics in 1996 won a $200 million competition to design, build and test three prototype AAAVs by fiscal year 2001.

	The AAAV Fails
		The other AAAV selling points are simply not true; it is not faster on land, it does not have greater armor protection, and it is not "essential for future amphibious operations" since the current amtrack has the range to come from ships "over the horizon".
		Moreover, the Navy lacks to ships to embark even half the planned AAAV fleet, and many are to be placed on pre-positioned cargo ships to be landed at ports and employed solely as Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
		Overall, the current AAAV program is a sad joke which will rob the Marine Corps of almost all funds for equipment over the next ten years to provide a complex monster of questionable value.

	Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle
		Development for the AAAV began on the late 1970’s with prototypes in the early 1980’s at the command at Camp Pendleton.
		The predecessor to the AAAV the LVTP7 life expectancy was extended in 1983/1984 by use of the SLEP (Service Life Extension Program) which modified and upgraded many of the key systems creating the LVTP7A1 then designated the AAVP7A1.
		At the time these vehicles were released the USMC had anticipated and communicated delivery of the AAAV by the mid 1990’s (1993).

		The AAAV is the Marine Corps primary means of accomplishing surface power projection and, if necessary, forcible entry against any level of defended coastline.
		AAAV is an armored, fully tracked amphibious combat vehicle that will be operated and maintained by a crew of three Marines and have a troop capacity of 17 Marines including their individual combat equipment.
		The AAAV is a replacement system for the current AAV7A1 that was fielded in 1972, underwent a major service life extension program and product improvement program from 1983 to 1993 and will be over 30 years old when the AAAV is fielded.

	Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle: Cold-War Dinosaur or Techno Revolution for the 21st Century? July 11, 2001
		The Marine Corps has also specified a level of protection for the AAAV that may not be realistic for a vehicle that must also be able to float and move through the water at high speed.
		The AAAV can only carry about 5,000 pounds of cargo, and it is supposed to be able to carry a "landing party" of 17 - but it will be very crowded, with the senior landing party member seated in the forward compartment with his own hatch and observation cupola.
		The cramped and convoluted troop accommodations in the AAAV will have at least two deleterious effects: (1) more AAAV's will be required to carry a given number of troops (and that could have a force structure impact), and (2) ingress/egress times for the troops will be substantially increased.

	USMC Welcomes First Prototype of General Dynamics AAAV
		A ceremony at Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, Va., was the stage for the rollout of the first prototype of the General Dynamics Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV).
		The AAAV was showcased with the other two platforms of the "amphibious triad" central to the Marine Corps' Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OFMTS) warfighting concept--the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and the veteran LCAC (landing craft, air cushion).
		Delivering the AAAV was Nicholas D. Chabraja, chairman and CEO of General Dynamics.

	GDLS - Press Release - SECOND AAAV PROTOTYPE HULL DELIVERED TO MARINES
		The prototype hull structure was machined and had appurtenances installed at the Lima [Ohio] Army Tank Plant, a General Dynamics operated facility, after fabrication at Lockheed Martin's Y12 facility in Oakridge, Tennessee.
		Its prototype hull structure was delivered to the AAAV Technology Center in Woodbridge, Virginia, December 29, 1998.
		The AAAV is the United States Marine Corps next generation amphibious vehicle capable of transporting 18 marines and a crew of three over water at speeds in excess of 20 knots.
