The M1117 Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) is a wheeled armored vehicle designed for military police and convoy protection missions. The ASV was developed by Textron Marine & Land Systems in response to the need for a more survivable and mobile vehicle than the Humvee. The ASV has a V-shaped hull that deflects blasts from mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and is equipped with a turret-mounted 40 mm grenade launcher and a 12.7 mm machine gun. The ASV can carry up to four soldiers and has a top speed of 100 km/h. The ASV was first deployed in 1999 by the U.S. Army Military Police Corps, and has since been used in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflict zones. The ASV has also been exported to several countries, including Colombia, Iraq, Bulgaria, and Afghanistan.
