Infantry
Fighting Vehicle Light (IFVL) is a light infantry fighting vehicle
based on the proven MTVL chassis and featuring a one-man stabilized turret
is convertible from existing assets or available as new production.
It offers the exceptional automotive performance of the MTVL chassis combined
with the substantial firepower of the stabilized 25mm chaingun and 7.62mm
machinegun. The vehicle is powered by a 400hp 6V53TIA electronically
controlled engine driving through the latest X200-4B cross drive transmission.
The IFVL uses many common M113/MTVL components that help insure high reliability,
availability, and maintainability, plus a proven design, common maintenance
techniques and an established logistics infrastructure. Applique
armor provides the flexibility to alter the armor package as the threat
level changes or technology advances. The vehicle carries a crew
of two or three and up to 10 dismount soldiers. As with all M113
variants,it is roll-on/roll-off transportable on a C130.
