The ACV is an eight-wheeled vehicle that will provide the same protection as the Ambush Protected Vehicle against mines, with superior ground and maneuverability compared to the already established Amphibious Assault Vehicle. Served for more than 40 years. It is equipped with a precision weapon station to enhance its lethality and powerful swimming ability, allowing it to operate in coastal regions and beyond.
Expeditionary and modernized in design, the ACV integrates with ocean freight and ship-to-ship connectors. The ACV’s ability to use sea and water routes to carry Marines and equipment makes it well-suited to a variety of operational environments, including Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations.
