BAE Systems announced last week that it has been awarded a $211 million contract by the U.S. Marine Corps for more Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACVs) under the Marine Corps’ fourth order. In addition to vehicle production, the award covers procurement of 40 FRP ACV Personnel (ACV-P) variants, fielding and support costs, and support and test equipment. 

ACV-P is the first of a family of four variants to be manufactured and delivered to the Marine Corps. Additional variants include the ACV Command and Control (ACV-C) variant which is currently in production; the ACV 30mm Cannon (ACV-30) variant which BAE Systems is currently under contract to produce multiple production representative vehicles; and the ACV Recovery (ACV-R) variant which is currently in design and development.

BAE Systems' vice president of BAE, Garrett Lacaillide, testifies that until now the company - together with its Italian partner Iveco Defense vehicles - has delivered more than 200 ACVs to the Marine Corps. The previous delivery of ACVs vehicles was in November 2022, when 30 vehicles worth more than $153 million were supplied. The total cumulative face value of the contract is $2,074,435,899.

In last July, BAE Systems has tested manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) C4UAS as a technology demonstration using IAI/ELTA Systems Rex MK II Unmanned Infantry Combat Support System.
