Armoured Vehicles

A NEW GENERATION OF AMPHIBIOUS ARMOURED VEHICLES

SUPERAV - Amphibious Armoured Vehicle 8X8

The SUPERAV 8×8 represents the state-of-art in armoured amphibious vehicle design and performance. Capable of supporting littoral operations in the open ocean beyond Sea State 3 and conducting ship-to-target operations, the vehicle can carry a mission load of 10t, including an overhead weapon station capable of mounting weapons up to 40mm calibre, advanced command and control suite and mission equipment. The SUPERAV 8×8 is equipped with a 6 cylinder 700hp FPT engine, Allison transmission, proprietary H-type driveline, independent hydro-pneumatic McPherson type suspension, 16.00 R20 wheels and is propelled in navigation by two independent propellers. The vehicle has an underbody armour volume of 18m3 and can carry 13 dismounts plus driver, gunner and commander in blast mitigating seats. The SUPERAV 8×8 can be fitted out to Customer specifications for mission roles ranging from APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier), to CP (Command Post), IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle), Ambulance, Recovery and other variants.

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.
