AAAV prototype AAAV

Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle

The AAAV prototype on display at AMTRAC Museum, Camp Del Mar, USMC Camp Pendleton, CA, USA.

This is a tracked version that could also operate on water. The propulsion unit is placed in a box at the rear with three water jets. This box then lowered in the water and that made the vehicle act like an oversized Jet ski.

The person standing in front gives reference to the size of the prototype. It is 75% of the proposed vehicle.

The real AAAV will be capable of transporting 18 Marines and a crew of 3 over water at speeds up to 29 mph, on land speeds up to 45 mph.

Al FAHD AL FAHD

Designed and built in Saudi Arabia and is in production for the Saudi Arabian National Guard. It is an 8 wheeled armoured vehicle. Wheels were selected rather than a tracked system because they provide better manoeuvrability and higher road speeds. A hydraulic amphibious system is available as an option. The maximum amphibious speed is 8 km per hour. The hull is water-sealed and airtight.
