MC AVS Development & Demonstration
Abstract
This is a CMC Force Design program. ACV provides protected mobility to otherwise dismounted infantry formations and enables littoral maneuver from ship-to-shore and from shore-to-shore. Equipped with modern communications systems and weapons for infantry support-by-fire, the ACV significantly improves the ability of Fleet Marine Forces to access, seize, and hold key maritime terrain in the execution of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations. The Amphibious Combat Vehicle is imperative to realizing Marine Corps requirements for Fleet Marine Force 2030. The capability to project power from the sea ensures joint freedom of maneuver against increasingly sophisticated area denial and anti-access strategies across the range of military operations in areas vital to our national interest. To this end, an ACV creates operational and tactical options through rapid maneuver on sea and land, provides for the seamless transition of combat power from sea to land, enables rapid response to crisis, enables the introduction of joint follow-on forces and can impose disproportionate costs on our enemies who must extend their defenses. This program has delivered the initial capability of Personnel variants (ACV-Ps) in Nov 2020 and is on track to deliver the initial capability of Command variants (ACV-Cs) in 2Q FY 2024, Improved Lethality variants (ACV-30s) in 3Q FY 2026, and Recovery variants (ACV-Rs) in 1Q FY 2028.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The project level increase from FY 2023 to FY 2024 of $11.735M is primarily attributed to the increase of initiating ACV-R Phase II Design activities in FY 2024 while simultaneously completing ACV-30 Phase IV efforts. Year-to-year changes by cost element are explained in greater detail in the R-2A and R-3. FY 2024 full funding supports the program ability to perform the following: - Complete ACV-30 Phase IV design efforts plus DT&E, OT&E, and LFT&E for the ACV-30 variant so that production may begin in FY 2025 for ACV-30; complete FY 2024 funding request ensures there is not a production gap between FY 2024 and FY 2025 because ACV-30 is the only variant produced in FY 2025; - Initiate and Complete the ACV-30 Contractor and Government Only Logistics Demonstrations; - Initiate ACV-R Phase II design and development activities during PRTV build, including incremental funding for the order of three (3) ACV-R Production Representative Test Vehicles (PRTVs) which will be ordered in FY 2024 and initiate prime contractor test support efforts for test preparation and planning; - Initiate test preparation and planning efforts for DT&E and LFT&E for ACV-R variant.
