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. ACV is structured to be executed in multiple increments, with the first increment designed to provide an initial operational capability of personnel carriers. Subsequent increments are planned to provide additional personnel carriers and to develop Mission Role Variants (MRVs), such as command and control and tactical recovery capabilities. The decrease in ACV 1.1 from FY 2019 to FY 2020 is primarily attributed to completion of corrective action modifications and the transition to Full Up System Level (FUSL) testing and Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E).
