After the joint success with BAE Systems of the original SUPERAV 8×8 Amphibious Vehicle in the US Marine Corps ACV program, Iveco Defence Vehicles has added a land-oriented version to its portfolio, designed for integration with an unmanned turret and an extensive mission payload. Being so well tried and trusted, Iveco Defence Vehicles decided to exploit the capability of the SUPERAV amphibious 8×8 platform in the brand new SUPERAV Land. The SUPERAV Land has about 85% in common with the amphibious vehicle, with virtually identical engine and drivetrain components, but is slightly smaller (450mm in length and 190mm in height) to improve terrestrial mobility and reduce the vehicle profile, and considering the fact that terrestrial mission squads are usually made up of eight troops. Lowering the internal volume, has saved a considerable amount of weight, equivalent to the average weight of a medium calibre unmanned turret. Naturally, the SUPERAV Land has no amphibious subsystems like propellers, propeller shafts, splashboards and bilge pumps, and with transport capability reduced from 13 to 8 troops, all the saved weight has been invested in additional ballistic protection. #idv #iveco #romania #strongertogether #military #defence #superavland #8x8
