A generalized Kinetic Derivative Nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the multidimensional dynamics of Alfvén wave trains is derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. It includes the coupling to the mean effect of the longitudinal fields averaged along the direction of propagation, that plays a significant role in the transverse dynamics of extended wave packets, in particular in the phenomenon of transverse collapse and Alfvén wave filamentation. This equation can be viewed as an asymptotically exact fluid model including the Landau damping, that can be used as a benchmark for more general magnetohydrodynamic type descriptions of collisionless plasmas.
