2007 Užpuolimo amfibinė transporto priemonė (AAV)—oficialus pavadinimas AAVP-7A1 (anksčiau žinomas kaip Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7 abbr. LVTP-7)—is a fully tracked amphibious landing vehicle manufactured by U.S. Combat Systems (previously by United Defense, a former division of FMC Corporation). The AAV-P7/A1 is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. It is also operated by other forces. Marines call them “amtracs”, a shortening of their original designation, “amphibious tractor”.

General Characteristics and Role
The LVTP-7 (Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel, 7) was the original designation for this series of armored amphibious assault vehicles developed for the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Designed to replace the LVTP-5, its fundamental role is to transport Marines and their cargo from ship to shore through heavy surf and across the beach, then serve as a light armored personnel carrier on land. The vehicle is fully amphibious, propelled in the water by two water jet pumps and driven on land by a track system. The LVTP-7 designation was later changed to AAV-7A1 (Amphibious Assault Vehicle) following a major upgrade program. It provides protection and mobility for the initial waves of an amphibious operation.
