The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Program was a U.S. Marine Corps
(USMC) program initiated in approximately 2011 to replace their tracked
AAV-7 Amphibious Assault Vehicles. The ACV Program also replaced
earlier USMC initiatives, including the
Marine Personnel Carrier, Advanced
Amphibious Assault Vehicle and Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle Programs.
The ACV was envisioned to be to be used for amphibious sea landings as
well as be capable to be used effectively on land. BAE Systems partnered with Iveco Defense Vehicles utilizing their SuperAV 8x8 Amphibious Armored Vehicle, as their submission for the ACV Program. BAE Systems' vehicle was selected as a finalist, along with the ST Kinetics Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicle, which BAE ultimately won. The first variant produced was the Armored Personnel Carrier, with other versions planned. The other variants are Command, (ACV-C), Logistics (ACV-L), Recovery (ACV-R) and Weapons (ACV-30) Vehicles. The ACV-30 mounts a turret (Kongsberg MCT-30) fitted with a 30mm cannon and 7.62mm machine gun. The ACV-30 variant was later upgraded and improved and coined the ACV Technology Demonstrator (ATD). That version could potentially qualify as a contender for the replacement of the USMC's Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) series. |
