The US Marine Corps (USMC) received an additional 30 Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACV) from the US Department of Defense (Pentagon).
Contracts worth USD 153 million have been signed, bringing the cumulative contracts of the Marine Corps next-generation combat vehicles to more than USD 2 billion.
In total, The US Marine Corps will be equipped with 632 ACV units to replace the old combat vehicles.
The ACV will be provided by BAE Systems from the UK as the manufacturer of this combat vehicle.
The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) is a program initiated by Marine Corps Systems Command to procure an amphibious assault vehicle for the United States Marine Corps to supplement and ultimately replace the aging Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV). The program replaces the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) program canceled in 2011. Originally a plan to develop a high-water-speed vehicle, the program has expanded into a multi-phased approach to procure and develop several types of amphibious-capable vehicles to address near and long-term requirements.
