AMPV

The U.S. Army’s modern tracked armored personnel carrier, built on a Bradley-derived chassis to replace the Vietnam-era M113 family across the Armored Brigade Combat Team.

Overview

The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is a family of tracked armored vehicles designed to replace the aging M113 series in the U.S. Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs). Built by BAE Systems on a common chassis shared with the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzer, the AMPV prioritizes parts commonality, survivability, and modularity. The program encompasses five variants—General Purpose (GP), Mission Command (MCmd), Mortar Carrier (MCV), Medical Evacuation (MEV), and Medical Treatment (MTV)—all intended to provide protected mobility and support functions across the formation.
