Alvis Aquatrack

Notes: This large amphibious tracked carrier is currently in use by the Filipino Marines. The Aquatrack is a large, retanguar tracked vehicle with a boat-type hull, powered by two propellers at the rear in Kort nozzles when in water. It can operate fully loaded in rough waters up to Sea State 5, and in plunging surf of up to 3.05 meters. The Aquatrack can also traverse marginal terrain, such as mud, soft sand, frozen ground, or swamps. The hull is very tough, being thin but made of nickel-chrome steel to withstand corrosion. It has five separate watertight compartments which can be sealed from one another, and the Aquatrack has a low center of gravity. The driver’s cab is in the front of the hull and has seating for four, with access from a roof hatch or from the rear of the compartment, and large windows to the front and smaller ones to the sides. The roof hatch of the cab has a weapon mount strong enough to take weapons of up to .50/12.7mm size. The rear compartment is large and carries the cargo, with fold-down seating for up to 40 fully-equipped troops. The deck of this compartment has a non-slip coating and rollers to assist in loading and unloading large cargoes; a vehicle the size of a Land Rover may fit inside. The rear has a large ramp and a door, and there are windows near the top of the sides of the compartment. The suspension is a modified form of that used on the M-113 series, but is wider and much longer.
