ARV - Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (US Marine Corps)

Az egyik pályázó ARV prototípusa:

Textron Systems - Cottonmouth - Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle

Textron Systems’ Cottonmouth vehicle is a purpose-built solution for the Unites States Marine Corps Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle. A force-multiplier armed to the fangs with advanced full-spectrum reconnaissance and surveillance sensors, it’s expertly designed to defeat threats beyond line of sight and comes complete with cutting-edge technologies that will keep adversaries up at night.

The U.S. Marine Corps has chosen

Textron Systems and
General Dynamics Land Systems

to begin contract negotiations to build advanced reconnaissance vehicle prototypes, the service announced July 16.

The U.S. Marine Corps has picked a Textron (NYSE: TXT) business segment and General Dynamics’ (NYSE: GD) land systems business to start contract negotiations to develop prototypes of the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle.

Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal will award other transaction agreements for the ARV prototyping effort through the National Advanced Mobility Consortium’s ground vehicle systems OTA if negotiations with Textron Systems and GDLS are successful, the service said Friday.

The ARV Command, Control, Communications and Computers/Unmanned Aerial Systems initiative is a Fleet Marine Force modernization program that will use a set of reconnaissance, target acquisition, surveillance and C4 equipment for sensing and communications.

The service said it expects the sensors and C4 systems to enable the ARV to “serve as the manned hub of a manned/unmanned team and deliver next-generation, multi-domain, mobile reconnaissance capabilities.”

The OTAs will have a performance period of 22 months. The service expects the prototypes to be delivered in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and will evaluate the vehicle prototypes for six months.

The Marine Corps will analyze data from the ARV prototyping effort and a study on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle and decide in FY 2023 on how it will move forward with the program.

In early May, Elbit Systems’ (Nasdaq: ESLT) U.S. subsidiary announced that it teamed up with Textron Systems to propose their Cottonmouth prototype for the ARV development program.
 
GDLS offers glance at Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle prototype design

"GDLS has not publicly released an image of its new Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle prototype but said that it is a ‘new, purpose-built' platform, which builds on its previous work to design such a vehicle for the USMC.

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) is disclosing additional details about its ‘new, purpose-built' prototype designed to win over the US Marine Corps (USMC) leaders who are on the hunt for a future Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV)."

Phil Skuta, the GDLS director for USMC programmes, provided Janes with an update on the company's ARV prototype. The company plans to deliver this initial platform to the service in December along with a blast hull for survivability testing and a system integration lab, but has not released photos of what this vehicle looks like.

“This was purpose-built. It will pass and disseminate the data that will be going through their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network,” he told Janes during a late July interview. “[The prototype is] connecting both to the onboard and offboard sensors, to the uncrewed air, and eventually, ground robotic systems and sensors.”
