Super AV 8x8 for the Italian Amphibious Brigade.
via Defense Aerospace.
Not only did they leverage USMC requirements for a Marine Personnel Carrier into getting themselves a new vehicle for their Amphibious Brigade, but they will also gain a new vehicle for the export market (to compete against the Mowag Piranha, Patria AMV and Terrex).
Absolutely brilliant.
Iveco-Oto Melara will also exhibit the VBA, a combination of the SUPERAV of Iveco D.V. and the HITFIST OWS weapon station turret of Oto Melara, developed to match the requirements of the new Italian Amphibious Brigade. With outstanding mobility on land and in the water and air-transportability in a C130, the VBA provides an optimum blend of tactical, operational and strategic mobility. Its HITFIST OWS weapon station incorporates the latest technologies in the fields of electronics, signature and Man Machine Interface (MMI) with outstanding performances in terms of lethality, survivability and fightability.Those sneaky Italians!

Get on line!
Star Wars Weapons coming to a ship near you!
So cool.
First the bad guys are zooming toward your amphib at 40 knots shouting Allah Akbar....
Next thing they know their engine blows up and the skin is burning off their backs....
Ain't Star Wars at sea cool?
