A NEW GENERATION OF AMPHIBIOUS ARMOURED VEHICLES
SUPERAV - Amphibious Armoured Vehicle 8X8
SUPPLIERS OF THE US MARINE CORPS
In September 2011, Iveco Defence Vehicles signed a teaming agreement with BAE Systems to offer the US Marines a superior solution for their Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) program, based on the Iveco Defence Vehicles SUPERAV 8×8 platform. The first 16 prototypes were delivered to the Marine Corps in 2017. Over the following 15 months, the companies assisted the US Marine Corps in the Developmental Testing and Operational Assessment of these vehicles, the performance of which achieved superlative results in both land and amphibious operations, payload capacity and protection.
Thanks to this exemplary teamwork, in June 2018 the team BAE Systems and Iveco Defence Vehicles was awarded the framework contract to deliver about 200 vehicles to the USMC, with the first fielding foreseen in 2020. Under this contract, Iveco Defence Vehicles is Design Authority and owner of the Intellectual Property for the vehicular platform, and is supplying all 8×8 amphibious armoured platform design, core components (powerpack, driveline, propellers, etc.) and services.
