The Brazilian army is considering modernizing 26 BAE Systems AAV7A1/CLAnf amphibious assault vehicles, a total composed of twenty-two AAVP-7A1 troop carriers, two AAVC-7A1 command posts and two AAVR-7A1 recovery vehicles. The fleet has been operated by the Amphibious Vehicles Battalion (BtlVtrAnf) of the Brazilian Marine Corps since 1986.
