“This award highlights the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment with the U.S. Marine Corps to equip forces with the capabilities they need to succeed. The additional ACVs keep the program aligned with operational requirements so that Marines are ready for any mission,” said Rebecca McGrane, vice president of amphibious vehicles at BAE Systems.
What Is the ACV-30?
The ACV-30 is a 30mm cannon-equipped variant of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle, designed to provide greater firepower and range capabilities for engaging targets. The ACV is intended to support amphibious operations through enhanced mobility, survivability and operational adaptability.
