Abstract
The US Marines are in the process of retiring 900+ Assault Amphibious Vehicles (AAVs) and replacing them with new Amphibious Combat Vehicles ACVs. There is the potential to convert “swords into ploughshares” in this transition, by upgrading and repurposing the retiring AAVs into a national civilian asset. Add Advanced Sensors & Communications to Enhance Safety and Search Capabilities. Add Remote Operations Capabilities. Add Autonomous Operations Capabilities. Launch & Recovery Platform: Equip with Remote/Autonomous: 1. Deployable airborne systems 2. Deployable ground systems 3. Deployable marine systems to support Search and Rescue Missions in Extreme Conditions.
