Abstract :
The armored family of vehicles (AFV) is a US Army program to design and field the next generation of armored tracked vehicles as a single system. Encompassing twenty-six different vehicle configurations, the AFV places special emphasis on commonality in the design. It is currently in the concept definition phase. Work which examines the impact that component commonality has on battle damage repair is reported
