DESCRIPTION
The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is the replacement for the
M113 Family of Vehicles (FoV) within the Armored Brigade Combat
Team (ABCT), comprising approximately 30 percent of its tracked
vehicle fleet.
The General Purpose variant accommodates two crew, six passengers, is
reconfigurable to carry one litter, mount crew served weapon, integrates
two Joint Tactical Radio System Handheld, Manpack and Small Form
Fit (HMS) or two Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System
(SINCGARS), Vehicle Intercom (VIC)-3, Driver’s Vision Enhancer
(DVE), Duke v3, and Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below
(FBCB2)/Blue Force Tracker (BFT).
The Mortar Carrier variant accommodates two crew, two mortar crew,
a mounted 120 mm mortar, 69 rounds of 120 mm ammunition, two
HMS radios, a SINCGARS radio, VIC-3, DVE, Duke v3, FBCB2/BFT
and M95 Mortar Fire Control System.
The Mission Command variant is the cornerstone of the Army’s ABCT
Network Modernization Strategy. It takes advantage of increased size,
weight, power and cooling limitations and provides a significant increase
in Command, Control, Communications and Computer capability. The
variant accommodates a driver and commander and two workstation
operators, and its red side Network provides full Tactical Command
Post capabilities at brigade and battalion levels.
The Medical Evacuation variant includes room for three crew, six
ambulatory patients or four litter patients or three ambulatory and two
litter patients, two integrated HMS radios, VIC-3, DVE, DUKE v3,
FBCB2/BFT and the storage for Medical Equipment Sets.
The Medical Treatment variant includes room for four crew, one litter
patient, and a patient treatment table.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
The AMPV provides significant capability improvement over the M113
FoV in force protection, survivability, mobility and power generation to
incorporate the Army’s inbound network and other future technologies.
