Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC)
Abstract
The Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC) satisfies the medium lift capability of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV)/Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV)/MPC triad. The MPC supports expeditionary maneuver warfare of the Ground Combat Element (GCE) and enhances Marine Operating Forces tactical and operational mobility on a platform that is highly mobile on land while maneuvering with all USMC wheeled and tracked combat, and tactical vehicles. MPC provides armored protection and lethality to protect the vehicle and support dismounted infantry in the attack, while providing payload to carry the infantry's combat loads, mission-essential equipment, and up to two days of supplies. This program's requirement was deferred and does not have funding beyond FY2013. ACV Increment 1.1 (PE 0603611M, Project 0025) leverages and continues the work that was previously accomplished under the MPC program.
