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 used 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
its 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 averaging
90-95% despite logging more than 30,000 miles per year
in combat operations.
