US Marine Corps Commences Full-Scale Production of ACV-30

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has been awarded a contract from the US Marine Corps marking the beginning of full-rate production for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle 30mm program (ACV-30). The USD 51 million contract comprises subcomponents related to the 30mm remote turret. These parts will be manufactured by Kongsberg at their facility in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Extended Contract Worth Estimated USD 329 Million

The contract issued to Kongsberg can be viewed as a component of a larger framework agreement, otherwise referred to as an “undefinitized contract action”. The total value of this agreement may reach up to USD 329 million.

Revolutionized Medium Caliber Turret by KONGSBERG

The ACV-30 features a highly stable and remotely controllable Medium Caliber Turret (MCT-30) crafted by Kongsberg. This advancement ensures the safety of Marines, while simultaneously ensuring room for troops and essential mission payloads without compromising armor protection. The remotely controlled turret replaces the spatial need of traditional turreted cannon systems, presenting additional room for troop or equipment transportation, along with reduced weight, thus improving mobility.

Veteran defense company executive Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, identified this agreement as a pivotal step for the US Marine Corps ACV-30 program. He expressed satisfaction with the Marine Corps' decision to incorporate Kongsberg's advanced 30mm PROTECTOR remote turret system into their program.

Continued Collaboration Between US Marine Corps and KONGSBERG

The cooperation between the US Marine Corps and Kongsberg continues to deepen as they together explore the PROTECTOR family of remote weapons and remote turrets. This collaboration will bring simplified training and sustainment as well as developments in wireless fire control and future tech and effector integration.

In reference to the value of the awarded contract, it's significant to note that it contributes to a larger framework agreement. On November 4, the US Department of Defense announced that Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace was granted a potential USD 329 million firm-fixed-price, undefinitized contract for the procurement of medium MCT-30.
