28 Dec 17. New in 2018: USMC will select upgraded amphib vehicle. Next summer the USMC will select a new combat Assault Amphibious Vehicle to replace the current fleet, which has been in use for more than 40 years.
The new Amphibious Combat Vehicle will be a wheeled, V-shaped hull armored personnel carrier designed to bring Marines from ship to shore and keep pace with an M1A1 Abrams tank rolling inland.
The final version will be selected from prototypes by SAIC and BAE Systems. Production is expected to begin next fall.
For now, however, the Corps will continue to upgrade the existing AAV fleet while the ACVs come into the inventory.
The Corps plans to purchase 204 ACV 1.1 versions and then move to acquire 490 ACV 1.2 versions after an initial production run.
The ACV must carry a crew of three along with 10 fully loaded Marine infantrymen and a remotely operated .50-caliber gun. It’s expected to later carry a dual .50-caliber machine gun and either a 40mm or 30mm cannon.
The SAIC version can carry the three-person crew and 11 infantrymen while the BAE Systems version can carry the crew plus 13 infantrymen.
Marines have 964 AAVs housed in three Assault Amphibious Battalions, two active and one reserve. (Source: Marine Times)

29 Dec 17. Reliance, Hinduja set for vehicle alliance, say reports. Indian corporations Reliance and Hinduja are reportedly looking to form an alliance to develop and build armoured vehicles for the Indian armed forces. News reports in India on 27 December said the partnership will be headed by Reliance subsidiary Reliance Naval & Engineering (RNEL) and Hinduja company Ashok Leyland.
The two companies will reportedly seek to enter a joint venture with a foreign vehicle manufacturer once their partnership has been agreed through a memorandum of understanding. Reliance has not commented on the development but a spokesperson for Hinduja said the group is “working on multiple initiatives in defence, including the armoured vehicle project”.
