History of Chenowth ALSV:

The Chenowth Advanced Light Strike Vehicle (ALSV) is an all-terrain light military vehicle developed by the United States. It is the successor to the Chenowth Light Strike Vehicle and the Desert Patrol Vehicle, and features improved performance and armament. The vehicle is relatively small, and can be carried in a transport aircraft. Although it is mainly used by the US Navy SEALs and Marine Corps, several other countries have procured it.

Chenowth Racing Products revealed in October 1996 that they had developed a "third-generation high-performance surveillance, light strike and reconnaissance vehicle", which they named the Advanced Light Strike Vehicle (ALSV). Based on its predecessor, the Chenowth Light Strike Vehicle (LSV), the ALSV could carry two, three or four personnel. An all-terrain vehicle, the ALSV is powered by a 160-horsepower diesel engine produced by Porsche, and is equipped with four-wheel drive functionality as well as power steering. A version powered by a petrol engine has also been produced.

An ALSV can be transported in a CH-47 Chinook or CH-53 Sea Stallion transport helicopter. Three can be carried in a C-130 Hercules transport, while two can be carried for para-dropping. The crew are covered only by an upper frame of tubular bars, although light armor can be added. The ALSV weighs 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg), and has a length of 161 inches (4.1 m) and a width of 83 inches (2.1 m). It is 79 inches (2.0 m) in height, and has a ride height of 16 inches (0.41 m). The ALSV can accelerate from 0 to 30 miles per hour (48 km/h) in 4 seconds, and is capable of negotiating up to 75% gradients and 50% side slopes.
