Miscellaneous Info:	The Armored Modular Vehicle (AMV) was developed to be extraoridinarily flexible by being able to perform a multitude of roles and to fit many different weapons systems.  To fulfill that purpose, three (3) hull types were designed: Standard, Heightened Roof and Heavy Weapons capable; all of which can be lengthened.  As a result, the possible AMV variants include Anti-Aircraft, Anti-Tank Guided Missile Carrier, Armored Personnel Carrier, Ambulance, Command/Control, Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Mortar Carrier, Reconnaissance, Recovery/Repair and Tank Destroyer. Due to it's flexible nature, the AMV has been adopted by a number of countries (listed above) and has been utilized as the base vehicle for the Slovak Vydra IFV, Slovenian SKOV Svarun IFV, Polish KTO Rosomak and South African Badger IFV.  In addition, the AMV35 variant was one of two finalists in competition to become Australia's new Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle under Phase Two (2) of Project Land 400. However, it was not selected. Finally, another vehicle based upon the AMV (the Lockheed-Martin Havoc Multi-Mission Combat Vehicle) was entered as a candidate in the USMC's Marine Personnel Carrier Program competition.  However, that program was cancelled in 2013, but later resurrected as the Amphibious Combat Vehicle Program.  However, the Havoc was not selected as a finalist vehicle.
