LAV

Lymphadenopathy-associated virus. This was the name first given to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) when it was discovered in the Pasteur Institute in Paris, by researchers Francoise Barré-Sinoussi, C. Cherman and F Rey, working under Luc Montagnier. The same virus was called HTLV-III (human T cell lymphotropic virus, Type III) by workers under Robert Gallo when it was isolated in the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland.

A spokesperson for the LAV programme manager office at the US Army's Tank and Automotive Command, which oversees the LAV modernisation effort for the USMC, suggested that "(c) urrent improvements correct mobility and obsolescence issues (relating to the vehicle's subsystems), improve vehicle survivability, replace the no-longersustainable Detroit Diesel 6V53T power pack, the vehicles' electronics, and suspension, and provide blast attenuating seats and self-sealing fuel cells." The improvements being implemented to 778 LAV-25A2S commenced in 2011 and will continue until 2018, thus extending the life of the vehicle to 2035.
