5 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line falls across the span, and 1 year is a break in the line rather than a low value: an edition the program is absent from, never interpolated. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

Description

Description — ASSAULT BREACHER VEHICLE (ABV)

The Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) is a tracked combat engineer vehicle for the Army Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) and Combat Engineer Company - Armor (CEC-A). It is designed to breach minefields and barrier obstacles to enable tanks and infantry of the ABCT to maintain pace in offensive combat operations. The Assault Breacher Vehicle provides crew protection and vehicle survivability equal to the M1A1 Abrams tank hull and has the speed and mobility to keep pace with the armor maneuver force. The Assault Breacher Vehicle hull is an overhauled M1A1 Abrams tank hull with modifications for its mission to support engineer companies within ABCTs. The ABV includes two Linear Demolition Charge Systems (modified Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLC) systems); interchangeable Engineer Breaching System hardware consisting of a Full Width Mine Plow and a Combat Dozer Blade; a Lane Marking System to automatically mark a cleared path behind the Assault Breacher Vehicle; and an integrated day/night vision system. The production / acquisition strategy includes a partnership with Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) for the modification of the Abrams chassis for production of the Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV). The Assault Breacher Vehicle (MOD) budget line funds the modifications of assault bridging equipment. It is used to procure hardware, materials, and hardware installation cost required to complete the modification. Modifications are performed to correct safety deficiencies, increase mission capabilities, extend the useful life, improve supportability, upgrade existing technology, increase efficiency, address obsolescence, improve readiness, and to meet new legal and regulatory requirements. By modifying existing equipment, the Army maintains a ready, supportable inventory of equipment that meets current requirements and regulations at a cost considerable below that of buying new equipment. Installation costs are included in the cost of each hardware kit. There are fifty-one (51) Assault Breacher Vehicles Harvested (ABV-H) from the United States Marine Corps (USMC). These vehicles are planned to undergo modifications to covert from USMC to the Army standard configuration. The Assault Breacher Vehicle Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) is 223.
