MCB Quantico, VA -- MCB QUANTICO, VA. – The Marine Corps has selected General Dynamics Land Systems and Textron Systems Corporation to design, develop, and manufacture an Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle 30mm Autocannon (ARV-30) prototype vehicle. This two-year award will see the participants utilize top-level requirements to develop an innovative combat vehicle that provides mobile protected firepower for Marines.

ARVs will be smaller and lighter than the ACV-30, enabling rapid deployment and stealthy operations in various terrains.

The ARV-30 will provide greater capability than the current Light Armored Vehicle 25mm variant (LAV-25) and meet the Marine Corps' requirements for Force Design 2030. It will be equipped with advanced features such as an automatic 30mm medium-caliber cannon, anti-armor capability, modern command-and-control systems, and a full range of advanced sensors.

The ARV-30 aims to combine the turret and weapon system found on the ACV-30,” said Steve Myers, Program Manager Light Armored Vehicles.

The program office will take delivery of the prototypes in FY25 for evaluation.
