Description
English: Camp Pendleton, Calif. (Dec. 5, 2005) – The U.S. Marine Corps’ new Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) is tested in the landing area of Del Mar Boat Base, Camp Pendleton, Calif. The AAAV will be capable of transporting 18 Marines and a crew of three over water at speeds of 29 miles an hour, using a hull propelled by two water jets. On land, the AAAV will achieve speeds of 45 miles an hour. In addition to its high land speed, the AAAV has sufficient ballistic protection to defeat rounds up to 14.5mm or fragments from 155mm artillery shells. It also has improved mine-blast protection and a nuclear, chemical and biological defense system. The new vehicle is planned to replace the current amphibious assault vehicle in use by the Marine Corps. U.S. Navy photo by Journalist 2nd Class Zack Baddorf (RELEASED)
