Abstract Amphibious Tracked Vehicle 35-65 t
2013

2. Introduction.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
For more than 12 years, General Dynamics is building an Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) also called Assault Amphibious Vehicle
(AAV) for the U.S. Marine Corps. The project has been criticized and DARPA is currently looking for alternative ideas. This project
calling "DARPA FANG Challenges" (see more information at <http://vehicleforge.org/about>).
"Why not?" I thought. But, unfortunately for me, this competition is only available to U.S. citizens. However, I have an idea and I
have done some work on illustrating the idea.
Let me introduce to you some thoughts and illustrated variations in the design of Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (Assault
Amphibious Vehicle).
What Is the EFV?
Briefly
The EFV would be an armored, fully tracked infantry combat vehicle operated by a three-person crew that can carry 17 combat-
equipped Marines. It is to be a self-deploying, high-speed amphibious vehicle capable of transporting Marines from ships to
objectives inland and aims to have the speed, maneuvering capabilities, fire power, and protection to operate with main battle
tanks on land. It is intended to have a 20-knot speed in the water and a 345-mile range ashore with a 45-kilometer-per-hour
speed on hard-surfaced roads. The EFV is to be designed to have modular armor and expanded mine blast protection and mount
a 30mm high-velocity cannon in a stabilized turret. The EFV is also supposed to be able to communicate in joint networks and
operate as part of a joint land force. There are to be two EFV variants. The EFV-P1 would carry a Marine rifle squad and its
equipment and provide direct fire support during combat operations. The EFV-C1 variant would provide command and control
capabilities for commanders and their staffs.
let's do some intermediate calculations:
17 combat-equipped Marines = 17*300 = 5100 lbs. or 5100*0.4536=2313.36 kg
20-knot speed = 20*1.852=37.04 km/h = 23.016 mph
345-mile range ashore = 345*1.6094=555.243 km
45-kilometer-per-hour speed = 45/1.6094=27.9617 mph
Approximate operational time to refuel after landing = 555.243/45=12.3387 h

Request for Information (RFI)
General Information:
Contracting Office Address:
Department of the Navy, United States Marine Corps, Marine Corps Systems Command, 2200 Lester Street, Quantico, VA,
22134-5010
Message to Industry:
The Marine Corps will be taking a collaborative approach with industry in order to produce a more affordable amphibious
capability. Interested partners should look at the Marine Corps amphibious requirements for an Amphibious Combat Vehicle,
Marine Personnel Carrier and AAV legacy upgrades as discussed in this and the other amphibious RFIs as a Family of Systems. The
Marine Corps would like to see industry focus on affordability by designing/proposing solutions that will reduce the operational and
support costs over the life cycle and consider such things as commonality, modularity of proposed solutions and interoperability
among Systems of Systems.
These solutions should take into consideration emerging technologies and provide for growth over the next 15 years. Additionally,
the Marine Corps is interested in hearing from industry strategies they would use to lower their procurement costs for their
proposed solutions.
Description:
Title 10, U.S. Code, directs the Marine Corps to develop equipment used by landing forces in amphibious operations.
The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) fleet is aging. Should the current AAV Family of Vehicles (FoV) not be replaced operations
that assure access would become either single dimensional operations, relying entirely upon air assault of infantryman, or be
required to use a mid-20th century means of surface transport that lacks needed capabilities such as firepower, autonomous ship

3. required to use a mid-20th century means of surface transport that lacks needed capabilities such as firepower, autonomous ship
to shore movement, ground mobility, and over the horizon range.
The current AAV does not meet the needs of the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) developed in response to the emerging
threat environment. Use of such equipment and tactics could result in unacceptable loss of life or mission failure.
In response to a validated operational need and an aging fleet of assault amphibian vehicles, the Marine Corps requirement for an
amphibious vehicle that will provide increased force protection, water speed, land mobility, lethality, and survivability, while
balancing capacity, mobility, transportability and total ownership costs over the current AAV is enduring.
The basic chassis shall be a combat vehicle that is capable of performing across the full Range of Military Operations (ROMO).
Core characteristics of the vehicle family will be as follows:
Maneuver.
While the ideal capability would be for the vehicle to transit from well over the horizon at a high rate of speed, this may prove to
be unaffordable. At a minimum, the vehicle must be able to autonomously deliver a Marine infantry squad from amphibious
shipping at launch distances at, or beyond the horizon (minimum of 12 miles) with a speed to enable the element of surprise in the
buildup ashore, and provide combat-ready Marines at the objective. The vehicle must be able to execute a seamless transition from
sea to land and maneuver with a mechanized task force for sustained operations ashore.
Let's continue the intermediate calculations
minimum of 12 miles distance from the ship-carrier to shore 12*1,60935=19,3122 km
*I should note that generally believed, under present conditions, this distance is considered to be insufficient.
Approximate operational time before landing = 19.32/37=0.5222 h
Protection.
The materiel approaches must enable the commander to employ maneuver forces in threat environments while minimizing losses
en route to objectives or while performing mounted missions.
Protection characteristics must be applied to direct fire, indirect fire, and mines/IED threats. In order to address the spectrum of
operating environments, this protection can be modular (i.e., applied incrementally as the situation dictates).
Sustainment.
The materiel approaches must enable the commander to employ mounted maneuver forces at greater ranges to objectives and
allow them to remain engaged while performing missions for greater durations than the current system. They should enable the
Marine Corps to rapidly integrate emerging technologies through the use of open architecture and reconfigure the interior to
support alternative mission loads including logistics provisions (55gal drums etc.,) heavy weapons (mortar/rockets) and medical
evacuations (litters).
Situational awareness.
The materiel approaches must enable the commander to employ mounted maneuver forces with improved connectivity and real-
time situational awareness, whether en route or on the objective.
Lethality.
The materiel approach must enable the commander to employ mechanized forces with the capability to engage/destroy threat
peer vehicles and provide direct fire support to dismounted infantry in the attack.
The following required capabilities identified by the Marine Corps must be addressed by the amphibious vehicle:
1. The capability to rapidly project force directly to the objective from strategic and operational distances.
2. Forcible entry capabilities combined with lift capabilities that facilitate maneuver from strategic and operational off-shore
distances and deliver forces where the adversary does not expect.
3. The capability to avoid a tactical pause from the waterline.
4. The capability to maneuver with the M1A1 in a mechanized task force.
5. The capability to increase force survivability through the use of speed, lethality, modular armor, reduced signature
(heat/visibility) and the ability to apply force from standoff distances.
6 The capability to connect to the Global Information Grid, and enable Over-the-Horizon, On-The-Move communications, Combat
Identification, and Battle-staff communications to provide battlefield situational awareness.
7. The capability to deliver lethal direct fire to enemy forces and Armored Personnel Carriers/Infantry Fighting Vehicles from a
stabilized system with a precision fire control system during day/night operations.
8. The capability to maximize fuel efficiency without realizing performance degradation during operational assaults.
These requirements are not mutually exclusive or collectively exhaustive, meaning that we are requesting trade space feedback
from industry.

The amphibious vehicle must be configured in multiple variants. Basic variants desired include:
