    The recently developed Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) incorporates a long list of upgrades that make it significantly more advanced than its predecessor, the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier. Multiple AMPVs underwent reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) testing at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), with each vehicle running many miles of simulated missions across road courses featuring various terrain conditions, from paved to gravel to punishing desert washboard that would severely rattle less robust vehicles.
