Amphibious Combat Vehicle 1.1

Abstract

The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) will be a partial and complementary replacement for the legacy Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) battalions within the Marine Divisions. ACV-equipped AA companies will provide protected mobility and general support lift to elements of Marine Infantry Battalions. The ACV, an advanced generation, eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier, will mitigate current and projected capability gaps by providing improved lethality against dismounted enemy troops, more effective land and water tactical mobility, and increased force protection and survivability from blast, fragmentation, and kinetic energy threats. The ACV program is structured to be executed in multiple phases, with the first phase designed to provide an initial operational capability of personnel carriers. Subsequent phases are planned to expand the personnel carrier capacity and to develop additional command and control and tactical recovery capabilities.
