The
M1117 Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) is the base model of the ASV both in production
and in combat use. It is the patrol version utilized by Convoy Protection platform
units and tactical military police of the U.S. Army. Textron's
ASV M1117 entered production in 1999, and has current contracts totaling more
than 1,900 vehicles. The ASV M1117 has been fielded in Germany, Kosovo, Afghanistan
and Iraq with the U.S. Army's MPs and Convoy Protection units. The
ASV M1117 4x4 armored, wheeled vehicle serves as a battlefield-proven convoy protection
platform providing for exceptional levels of soldier protection and security.
The low profile UGWS 40/50 turret's under-armor reload capability, combined with
it's oblique armored steel hull and ceramic composite expandable armor, provide
for unparalleled all around survivability against small arms fire, Rocket-Propelled
Grenades (RPG), overhead artillery fragmentations and under-wheel and under-hull
mine blasts. To these impressive attributes, add the fact that the M1117
has shown a combat availability rate of 94-95% and an operational readiness rate
consistently average 90-95% despite logging more than 30,000 miles per year in
combat operations.
