ʻO AAV7 amphibious armored person carrier
AAV7A1 RAM/RS transporter me ka mea kaua EAK ma kahakai ma Vico Morski.
ʻO ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kahi mea lawe kaʻa kaua e lana ana he mea pono ia i kēia manawa no ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua hana ʻia kēia i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II, kahi i hakakā nui ʻia no nā ʻAmelika ma ka Pākīpika. ʻO nā hana i komo i ka nui o nā hoʻouka kaua amphibious, a me ke ʻano kikoʻī o nā mokupuni kūloko, i hoʻopuni pinepine ʻia e nā apo o nā ʻaʻa koʻa, alakaʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i paʻa pinepine ʻia nā moku pae moku ma luna o lākou a hāʻule i ke ahi o nā mea pale. ʻO ka hoʻonā ʻana i ka pilikia he kaʻa hou e hui pū ana i nā hiʻohiʻona o kahi moku pae a me kahi kaʻa āpau āpau a i ʻole kahi kaʻa kaua.
ʻAʻole pono ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa huila, ʻoiai e ʻoki ʻia nā koʻa ʻoi i nā huila, ʻo ke kaʻa o lalo wale nō ke koe. No ka wikiwiki o ka hana, ua hoʻohana ʻia ke kaʻa "Crocodile", i kūkulu ʻia ma 1940 ma ke ʻano he kaʻa hoʻopakele kai. ʻO ka hana ʻana o kāna pūʻali koa, i kapa ʻia ʻo LVT-1 (kaʻa pae ʻana, nānā ʻia), ua lawe ʻia e FMC a ua hāʻawi ʻia ka mua o nā kaʻa 1225 i Iulai 1941. ma kahi o 2 16 mau ʻāpana! ʻO kekahi, LVT-000 "Bush-master", i hanaʻia i ka nui o 3. Ua hāʻawiʻia kekahi hapa o nā mīkini LVT i hanaʻia ma lalo o Lend-Lease i ka poʻe Pelekania.
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke kaua, ua hoʻomaka ka ʻike ʻana o nā mea lawe i nā mea kaua i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, akā ʻo nā koi no lākou, ma ke ʻano he ʻokoʻa ma mua o ka hihia o nā ʻAmelika. Pono lākou e hoʻoikaika pono i nā pale wai o loko, no laila e noho ma ka wai no hoʻokahi kakini a ʻelua paha mau minuke. ʻAʻole pono ka paʻa o ka hull, a ʻo ka pauma bilge liʻiliʻi e lawa maʻamau e wehe i ka wai kahe. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole pono ia kaʻa e hana me nā nalu kiʻekiʻe, a ʻo kāna pale anti-corrosion ʻaʻole pono i ka mālama kūikawā, no ka mea, ʻauʻau pinepine ia, a i loko o ka wai hou.
Ua pono nae ka US Marine Corps i ka'a me ke kupono i ke kai, hiki ke holo ma na ale nui a uhi i kahi mamao ma ka wai, a hiki i ka "au" no na hora he nui. ʻO ka palena iki he 45 km, ʻo ia hoʻi. He 25 mau mile moana, oiai ua manaoia ma kahi mamao loa mai ke kapakai aku, aole e hiki ke komo aku i na moku kaua me na lako kaua e na enemi. I ka hihia o ka chassis, aia kahi koi e lanakila ai i nā keakea kiʻekiʻe (ʻaʻole pono ke kahakai he kahakai one, he mea nui hoʻi ka hiki ke lanakila i nā koʻa), e komo pū me nā paia kū i hoʻokahi mika ke kiʻekiʻe (hoʻonoho pinepine ka ʻenemi. nā pilikia like ʻole ma kahakai).
ʻO ka hope o Buffalo - LVTP-5 (P - no nā limahana, ʻo ia hoʻi no ka lawe ʻana i nā infantry) mai ka makahiki 1956, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka nui o 1124 kope, ua like ia me nā mea lawe lima kahiko a ua ʻike ʻia e kona nui kupaianaha. ʻO ke kaumaha o ke kaʻa he 32 tons a hiki ke lawe i nā koa he 26 (ʻo nā mea lawe ʻē aʻe o ia manawa ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o 15 tons). Loaʻa iā ia kahi ala hoʻouka mua, kahi hopena e hiki ai i ka paratrooper ke haʻalele i ke kaʻa inā ʻo ia i paʻa i kahi kapa pali. No laila, ua like ka mea lawe i ka moku hoʻokele maʻamau. Ua haʻalele ʻia kēia hoʻoholo ʻana i ka wā e hoʻolālā ana i ka "moku hoʻokele lana maikaʻi."
Ua kūkulu ʻia ke kaʻa hou e FMC Corp. mai ka hopena o 60s, ua kapa hou ʻia ka ʻoihana koa ʻo United Defense, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo US Combat Systems a no ka BAE Systems hopohopo. Ma mua, ʻaʻole i hana ka hui i nā kaʻa LVT wale nō, akā ʻo M113 pūʻali koa lawe lima, a ma hope pū kekahi M2 Bradley infantry kaʻa kaua a me nā kaʻa pili. Ua ʻae ʻia ka LVT e ka US Marine Corps i ka makahiki 1972 ma ke ʻano he LVTP-7. ʻO ke kaumaha o ka hoʻouka kaua o ka mana kumu a hiki i 23 tons, ʻehā mau koa ka poʻe ohua, a ʻo nā pūʻali i lawe ʻia he 20 ÷ 25 poʻe. ʻO nā kūlana huakaʻi, he mamao loa ia mai ka ʻoluʻolu, ʻoiai e noho ana nā pūʻali koa ma nā papa haiki ʻelua ma nā ʻaoʻao a me ke kolu, pelu ʻia, aia ma ka mokulele longitudinal o ke kaʻa. He ʻoluʻolu nā noho a ʻaʻole pale i ka hopena o ka nalu haʻalulu i hoʻokumu ʻia e kaʻu pahū. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka ʻāpana pae ʻana he 4,1 × 1,8 × 1,68 m ma o nā ʻehā ʻehā ma ka hale o ka hull a me kahi ala hope nui me kahi puka oval liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka mea kaua ma ke ʻano o kahi pū mīkini M12,7 85-mm i loaʻa i loko o kahi puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi me ka electro-hydraulic drive, i kau ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao starboard ma ka ʻaoʻao mua o ka hull.
