ASV ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER (APC)<br />

PROTECTING THE WARFIGHTER<br />

Equipped with Gunner Protection Kit (GPK)<br />

The APC is a platform that adapts new technologies while minimizing development time and cost. This superbly engineered and<br />

battle-tested design continues to meet new and emerging threats associated with the next generation of warfare.<br />

When equipped with a GPK, the APC provides:<br />

• Extended crew compartment for three crew members and up to seven dismounts.<br />

• Fully independent front and rear suspension and superior mobility<br />

• Increased protection and 360-degree visibility to the gunner<br />

• Gunner protection to maintain gunner-ready position<br />

• Protection against armor-piercing ammunition and fragmentation threats<br />

• Situational awareness for the gunner.


ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS<br />

The APC is recognized as one of the best-in-class wheeled,<br />

<strong>armored</strong> combat vehicles due to:<br />

• Survivability - Scalable bolt-on<br />

appliqué provides protection from<br />

direct and indirect weapons, mines<br />

and improvised explosive devices<br />

(IEDs). Low aural, thermal and<br />

visual profiles<br />

• Mobility – Four-wheel drive allows<br />

freedom to maneuver over all<br />

terrain<br />

• Lethality – GPK keeps the gunner<br />

protected while in weapon<br />

engagement position<br />

• Sustainability - Highly maintainable,<br />

organically supported, proven high<br />

operational readiness in more than<br />

six years of combat operations.<br />

Combat experience has shown the<br />

survivability advantages of the GPK<br />

which allows the gunner to maintain<br />

a protected gunner-ready position<br />

for near 360-degree visibility from<br />

the safety of the APC. The GPK<br />

defeats armor-piercing ammunition<br />

and fragmentation threats for the<br />

warfighter. The vehicle offers excellent<br />

handling, ride quality and mobility.<br />

The APC enables combat troops<br />

to drive all-terrain missions beyond<br />

the capabilities of most MRAPs. A<br />

cost-effective force multiplier in every<br />

sense, the APC continues to play<br />

a formidable role on a changing<br />

battlefield.<br />
