FORT WORTH, Texas, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the United
States Marine Corps (USMC) Systems Command works toward the next
phase of replacing the legacy Light Armored Vehicle with a modern,
robust Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV), Elbit Systems of
America has teamed with Textron Systems to produce a solution that
provides Marines with transformational capabilities, including
enhanced situational understanding technologies.
The USMC has identified characteristics their new ARV must
include as the core-manned next-generation system for light armored
reconnaissance battalions. In response, Textron Systems has
partnered with Elbit Systems of America and others to create the
Cottonmouth prototype ARV.
"Elbit Systems of America is excited to be teamed with Textron
Systems as a key partner for building the Advanced Reconnaissance
Vehicle for the United States
Marine Corps," said Ridge Sower,
Vice President of Ground Combat and Precision Targeting at Elbit
Systems of America. "Our ARV concept will provide a key and
critical capability to the USMC and include advanced technologies
that will make it relevant both today and for decades to come. Our
360-degree multi-domain situational awareness suite will provide
significant increases in the lethality and survivability of
Marines."
Building off the success of Elbit Systems of America's
IronVision and gimbaled sight solutions, the company will provide
the 360° Situational Awareness vision suite for the Cottonmouth
prototype ARV. The system will bring together video images from
outside the ARV, overlay terrain and obstacle information, along
with navigation and battlespace symbology, and present a single
image of the ARV's surroundings to all crew members within the
vehicle. This comprehensive and intuitive view of their
surroundings, available both on crew workstations and the
IronVision Helmet Mounted Display, gives the crew the ability to
"see-through" the armor of the Cottonmouth, empowering them with
unparalleled situational understanding while under armor.
The successful ARV prototype will ultimately replace the USMC's
Light Armored Vehicle that's been in use since the 1980s.
