The U.S. Army is planning to add an unmanned turret with 30mm cannon and Javelin missile launcher for its new Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPV).
The AMPV would replace 5 variants of the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier family of vehicles, which have been in service since the Vietnam-era.
The Army is expecting that one variant of its newest AMPV will receive a new weapon system that will need to operate both the 30mm cannon and a 7.62 machine gun and also will be armed with an anti-tank missile launcher.
