U.S. Marines New Amphibious Combat Vehicle With 30mm Cannon

According to Marine Corps Systems Command, an up-gunned version of the Corps’ new amphibious combat vehicle or ACV will be armed with a lighter version of the Army’s Stryker 30mm cannon.

The U.S. Marine Corps has awarded BAE Systems a $88 million contract to build multiple ACV-30 Production Representative Test Vehicles, or PRTVs. Once delivered, the PRTVs will undergo a testing period before a full-rate production decision.

It’s based on the Italian IVECO DV SuperAV (same mechanics of centauro II and vbm freccia). AVCs are produced by BAE Systems on licence IVECO DV

It's a BAE System Production. It is not based on Stryker, but on IVECO 8 x 8 that is bigger then Stryker.

while traversing the sea between amphib ship & shore the ship should provide anti air cover. this acv should have an anti drone or air defense devise for troop protection.

Its looking more and more like that APC in "Aliens."

[Eric-lqyk]

So its basically a water proofed and ligter version of the army striker?

[trevor]

It just has to be able to not sink lol anything other than that is a plus. It doesn’t have to be fast it just has to work

4:46 wow. Watching them getting dogged down brings back memories. “Set condition one alpha throughout the ship.” Filling out manifests for my squad. The smell of the well deck. We were still using AAVs when I was in though. A MK-40 and a 50 cal on the turret. Hopefully these have bigger benches inside though. With all your gear on, your ass was hardly touching anything. And we’d spend hours sitting all squeezed in back there. Breathing all the diesel exhaust. Not seeing anything. Sure beat walking though. Boats or helo companies had to walk from the LZ or the shore/river. The few times I got to sit in the TC hatches were pretty cool though. Especially just after splashing.

The engineering excellence in these vehicles is absolutely breathtaking!

I’m curious on what’s gonna happen to the LAV And if these are for LAR or are these to be replacing tracks

[rammone]

The crew exiting wearing only his overalls and no combat load, that looks very tight if you got a fireteam trying to enter the vehicle in a hail
storm of bullets and mortars, that first step looks like 4 ft to the deck, I want to see a grunt in full load with his rifle hoping out that thing and back in. I am not seeing a ramp hinges on that rear, unless I missed something.

[tmacusmc]

Will the 30 mm variation be part of future LAR battalions? Replacing the. LAV 25 I assume?

[mj-npsy]

What sort of additional maintenance do these require post-traversal of a body of water? Do they need to be put into amphibious mode or are they always in it?

Every west coast 0311 recognizes that beach.

Love this machine! Much love from your humble NATO ally - Bulgaria

[billrich]

God damn. Why is the music so loud and dramatic? It's distracting. And the speaker sounds like an AI.

[DJHazzard]

Looks like the German BOXER 😅 good upgrade for the Marines !

[Danzo]

BAE Systems is a british defense contractor?

[CheerfulTerrier-xenn]

I can see this vehicle as w.orking in concert with lars.., ...Lars has a command control know as C squares....the command version of this vehicle as being a vast improvement in the CoC

[izzyplusplusplus]

Attach a raft pod with pressure switched deployment, so when one sinks, the men inside can have rescue and exfil capabilities if they escape.

If the ACV / SuperAV 8x8 wheeled chassis is large enough to carry the three-man turret of the US Army's M10 Booker, maybe it could replace the now-retired M1128 Mobile Gun System.
