Survivability 7 is probably a bit high given that the AAV doesn't have a 'V' hull and the floor armor is still only aluminium. But that and any armor upgrades can wait.

They claim MRAP equivalence so it's a 7

Fallout Re: APC Development and related topics.

She does look "beefed up" compared to the standard AAV. But here's what the USMC has to say about it. Looks like I spotted some shock mounting in the mechanical part (Don't think they're the "mains" though?) of the video. We live and die by that stuff on the boats.

You will find in this next video from SAIC one of the IED tests conducted on the AAV SU which is it's official designation as noted in the USMC ref above.
Already has a name isn't that special?

Did my part to pack out Mom today, chilling out and watching some closing ceremonies. Take Care!

Regards,
Pat
