Tá GAZ-46, armádní označení MAV (rusky малый автомобиль водоплававаіий, malé plovoucí auto), je ruské lehké obojživelné vojenské vozidlo s pohonem všech kol, které vstoupilo do služby v 50. letech 20. Během druhé světové války Kanada, Británie a USA přeposlaly velké množství vojenského materiálu do Ruska. Mezi nimi byly džípy, nákladní automobily a obojživelná vozidla jako 6×6 DUKW a 4×4 Ford GPA. Ty byly používány k pomoci mužům a vybavení dostat se přes mnoho řek východní Evropy a bojovat proti Němcům. Rusko se po válce rozhodlo vyvinout dvě podobná vozidla s použitím domácích automobilových dílů, BAV, ekvivalent DUKW, a MAV, ekvivalent Ford GPA.

General Characteristics and Role
The GAZ-46 MAV (Maly Avtomobil Vodorodny, or “Small Water Vehicle”) was a Soviet light amphibious military vehicle developed shortly after World War II. It was essentially a direct, slightly scaled-down copy of the American Ford GPA ‘Seep’ amphibious jeep, which had been supplied to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program during the war. The GAZ-46 was designed to provide troop and equipment transport across water obstacles for reconnaissance, liaison, and light patrol duties. It featured a boat-like hull and a conventional four-wheel-drive system on land, complemented by a propeller for water propulsion. It served primarily with the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact nations.

Design and Legacy
- Design Basis: Directly based on the Ford GPA (Seep), but modified to utilize standard Soviet GAZ-M20 Pobeda car components for easier logistics and repair.
- Wartime Influence: The need for an indigenous amphibious vehicle arose from the success and utility of the American amphibious jeeps used during the war.
- Construction: Featured a boat-like, welded steel hull for watertight integrity and a conventional automotive chassis within the hull.
- Successor: The GAZ-46 was eventually replaced by more advanced amphibious vehicles and specialized armored personnel carriers in the Soviet military.
