The Armored Security Vehicle-150 (ASV-150) is an armored wheeled vehicle equipped with a turret and armament system designed to meet the security mission requirements of the Military Police Corps. The ASV-150 is a 4 wheel drive vehicle equipped with a 260 horsepower diesel engine, 6 speed automatic transmision and all wheel independent suspension that offers a quality ride while providing superior mobility, agility and handling. The ASV-150 turret is equipped with an improved 40mm MK 19 grenade launcher and 12.7mm machine gun and can be traversed 360 degrees and the weapons elevated between -10 to +60 degrees. The ASV-150 is designed to provided maximum survivability with IBD Modular Expandable Armor System (MEXIS) utilizing ceramic composite applique on exterior and a spall liner on interior surfaces. The vehicle features roll-on/roll-off C130 tranportability in the fully operational configuration.

First Unit Equipped was achieved in February 1998.

The ASV is transportable (roll-on/roll-off) by C-130 and larger aircraft, rail, highway and marine transport modes. The ASV is employed by MP three-man teams designed to perform missions across the entire operational continuum. The MP units programmed to receive the ASV perform their four battlefield missions (area security, battlefield circulation control, enemy prisoner of war operations and law and order operations) regardless of the level of combat intensity on the operational continuum. ASV-equipped units will conduct Air-Land Battle/Air-Land Operations (ALO) (at one end of the level of combat intensity continuum) or they will perform force protection and stabilization operations occurring in a low intensity conflict (LIC)/operations short of war contingency environment (at the opposite end of the continuum).

The ASV payload requirement is established at 3,360 lbs. The payload includes three man crew and one additional soldier, all their combat gear, internal stowage per occupant, cargo, ammunition, ancillary equipment, related hardware, basic issue items with at least 27 cubic feet (0.76 cubic meters) of interior volume per individual.

The ASV is capable of towing and being towed from the front by a like vehicle at its GVW for a distance of at least 100 miles (161 km) at a minimum speed of 35 mph (56.4 km/hr). The ASV is also capable of towing the M1025/M1026, and Up-Armored HMMWV models without damage to either vehicle. The ASV is capable of ascending and descending a 40% slope with no degradation to requirements when towing a two-wheeled M1102 trailer with a GVW of 4,200 lbs., the M1101 trailer with a GVW of 3,400 lbs. or the 3/4 ton M101 series cargo trailer.

The ASV includes an organic winch capable of producing a minimum rated pull capacity of 15,000 lbs. (6,795 kg) to permit self-recovery and/or recovery of other systems as required.
