Fotogalerija 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.

Oklepno varnostno vozilo M1117 (ASV) je kolo oklepno vozilo, namenjeno vojaški policiji in misijam zaščite konvoja. AsV je razvil Textron Marine & Land Systems kot odgovor na potrebe po preživetem in mobilnem vozilu kot Humvee. ASV ima trup v obliki črke V, ki odkloni eksplozije iz min in improviziranih eksplozivnih naprav (IED), opremljen pa je s kupolo nameščenim 40 mm granatnim zaganjalnikom in 12,7 mm strojnico. ASV lahko nosi do štiri vojake in ima vrhunsko hitrost 100 km/h. ASV je leta 1999 prvič napotil vojaški policijski korpus vojske ZDA, od takrat pa so ga uporabljali v Iraku, Afganistanu in drugih konfliktnih območjih. ASV je bil izvožen tudi v več držav, vključno s Kolumbijo, Irakom, Bolgarijo in Afganistanom.
