The successful demonstration of MUM-T capabilities shows the
versatility of the built-in growth capacity in the ACV C4/UAS. The
ability to incorporate MUM-T into mission planning expands mission
parameters and tactical sphere while decreasing the risk to human
and technological assets in uncertain or hostile environments.
“This is an exciting next chapter to show the growth potential
of the ACV C4/UAS,” said Garrett Lacaillade, vice president of the
Amphibious Vehicles product line for BAE Systems. “Pairing an
unmanned system like the Rex provides increased situational
awareness, supports mission success, and reduces the risk to our
Marines.”
The ACV is an adaptable amphibious platform built to meet the
operational needs of the Marine Corps, allowing space for new
capabilities as technology evolves such as reconnaissance,
electronic warfare, anti-air, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS)
systems integration. Built in partnership with Iveco Defence
Vehicles, the ACV is a unique mix of true open-ocean amphibious
capability, land mobility, survivability, payload, and growth
potential.
The Rex MK II system is an unmanned autonomous vehicle that
provides direct support to maneuvering infantry units. It can
perform a variety of tasks including tactical logistic support,
tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR),
operating lethal weapons through target acquisition and evacuating
wounded Marines.
ACV production and support is taking place at BAE Systems
locations in Stafford, Virginia; San Jose, California; Sterling
Heights, Michigan; Aiken, South Carolina; York, Pennsylvania; and,
Phoenix, Arizona.
