Deliver and support unmatched amphibious combat capabilities that provide our Marines a decisive advantage.
Leads development, production, fielding, and New Equipment Training for the ACV Family of Vehicles (FoV) as well as the ACV Suite of Training Systems (STS). Additionally, PdM D&P serves as the Primary Inventory Control Authority (PICA) to manage the remotely operated Medium Caliber Turret (MCT-30) for the USMC, chartered to forge and strengthen cross-Service partnerships and maximize commonality wherever possible.
Leads programmatic efforts to sustain and modernize amphibious assault capabilities for the USMC and our international partners (via Foreign Military Sales). Strives to maximize materiel readiness, safety, and sustainment of the ACV FoV through a cross-Service coordinated effort for depot-level maintenance and development of innovative engineering solutions. PdM S&R ensures the surface assault element of our Marine Expeditionary Units remains fully capable of executing globally responsive over-the-horizon operations. The ACV replaces the legacy Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) and modernizes the means for the United States Marine Corps Amphibious Assault (AA) Battalions and Ground Combat Element (GCE) to conduct amphibious, expeditionary, protected mobility operations. The ACV provides unmatched water and land mobility, including use of the sea as maneuver space within the littoral operating area. The ACV provides protected mobility to embarked infantry and possesses increased lethality to deliver accurate support-by-fire in support of dismounted infantry. The ACV’s versatile land mobility allows it to operate effectively as part of the GCE maneuver task force, as well as conduct mounted security operations in urban or restrictive terrain alongside other wheeled vehicles of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).
