Replacing the aging M113 Armored Personnel Carrier, the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle is the U.S. Army's new mainstay for rear-area duties that require all-terrain mobility and a robust level of protection, without the cost and complexity of heavier infantry fighting vehicle systems.

The AMPV is based on the tried and tested Bradley fighting vehicle, with a modular design that allows for improvement over time and commonality to ease maintenance in far-flung locations. Like its predecessor, the AMPV can mount a manned turret capable of sporting a variety of weapons, most notably the M2 .50 caliber machine gun and the Mk19 automatic grenade launcher.

The statistics above are for the .50 caliber variant of the M1283 general purpose model, though aside from crew capacity, all but the armament remains the same for other variants.

Variants include:

The M1284 MEDEVAC variant, with 3 crew and a capacity of 4 litters for medical evacuation.
The M1285 ambulance variant with expanded cargo bay, 4 crew, and room for one litter patinet at a time.
The M1286 command post variant with 4 crew and an expanded sensor and communications capability
The M1287 mortar carrier variant, mounting a 120 mm heavy mortar.
The HM1288 counter-UAS variant, with 3 crew and a short range air defense gun system.
The HM1289 infantry fighting vehicle variant, with 3 crew and mounting a 30 mm autocannon in a remotely operated turret.
