Since 1972, the primary platform for transporting Marines from ship to shore under hostile conditions has been the Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV). Although planned upgrades for the AAV will bolster force protection, survivability, and mobility, enabling the vehicle to remain in service through at least 2030, the Marines report that the AAV has become increasingly difficult to operate, maintain, and sustain. As weapons technology and threat capabilities have evolved over the past four decades, the AAV is viewed as having capability shortfalls in the areas of water and land mobility, lethality, protection, and network capability. In addition, the AAVs need to be deployed and recovered from within sight of the shore may represent a significant survivability issue not only for the vehicles occupants but also for naval amphibious forces that support it.
