Photo gallery of a M1117 ASV, The M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle, or ASV, is an internal security vehicle manufactured by Textron Marine & Land Systems for use by the U.S. Army’s Military Police Corps. The design is greatly inspired by french VAB. Its armament consists of an Mk 19 grenade launcher and M2HB Browning machine gun, mounted in a turret similar to that used on the U.S. Marine Corps’ Amphibious Assault Vehicle; and a M240H Medium Machine Gun mounted outside the gunner’s hatch. The vehicle was popular with American military police and convoy security units in Iraq. It is a more heavily protected and heavily armed alternative to the armored Humvee which was not originally designed to be a protected fighting vehicle.

More info:

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.
