Work will take place primarily at York, Pennsylvania, through 2029. The program also includes government design work and final integration of the Palfinger Crane at Anniston Army Depot before the recovery vehicles are fielded to the Fleet Marine Force.
The ACV-R adds a recovery capability to the vehicle family. Its role is to support fleet readiness by allowing Marines to recover vehicles rapidly and carry out maintenance as needed.
“Our partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps has been instrumental in the development and production of the ACV program, and this award highlights our shared commitment to make sure they are equipped with the capabilities they need to succeed,” said Rebecca McGrane, vice president of combat vehicles at BAE Systems. “The ACV-R is a critical addition to the fleet, and we remain dedicated to delivering a high-quality vehicle that supports Marines, providing cutting-edge solutions to keep our warfighters safe in any mission.”
The ACV’s modular design supports configurations for different operational roles, including the ACV-30 for firepower and the ACV-Personnel, or ACV-P, for troop transport. The ACV-Command, or ACV-C, provides command-and-control capabilities.
