MDM – Amphibious Combat Vehicle

Proposed solution for Phase I of the USMC’s Amphibious Combat Vehicle program dominated the show floor with four companies displaying their systems. ACV is intended as a replacement for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle and replaces the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle program cancelled in 2011. Phase I plans to purchase COTS wheeled vehicles which can be brought ashore using LCACs. Eventually, phase II will result in an actual amphibious armored vehicle that can come ashore under its own steam from the do well of an amphibious assault ship.
