Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV7A1 RAM/RS) **UPDATE***


Had a chance to watch the video again and it dawns on me that BAE is putting forward new capabilities and options. These aren't rebuilds, it appears that BAE might be getting ready to reopen the AAV manufacturing line or at the very least tool up to do massive upgrades.

What tells me that?

Scalable weapons? Not on the current model...not unless Textron is selling drop in turrets...modern communications suite in the command vehicle?? Not in the ones I know about. You're talking Yabba Dabba Do time (prehistoric). I'll send a note to them and see whats up.

      not sure. i know that the Japanese are putting together their Marine Corps and are getting 4 AAVs soon so i imagine BAE is doing the smart thing and trying to get ahead of the competition.
