The Assault Amphibious Vehicle[2] (AAV)—official designation AAV-P7/A1 (formerly known

as Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7 abbr. LVTP-7)—is a fully tracked amphibious landing
vehicle manufactured byU.S. Combat Systems (previously by United Defense, a former division
of FMC Corporation) and FNSS Defence Systems.[3][4]The AAV-P7/A1 is the current amphibious
troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian
Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift
from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized
operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. It is also
operated by other forces. Marines call them "amtracks," a shortening of their original designation,
"amphibious tractor.”
