Heavily armed troop carriers, such as the M2 Bradley , that transport mechanized infantry and provide direct fire support.
The development of modern ACVs focuses on three competing requirements. The Army’s Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV)
Versatile wheeled vehicles used for peacekeeping, internal security, and urban operations due to their high maneuverability. Core Design Pillars armoured combat vehicle
Heavily armored, high-firepower platforms designed for direct breakthrough and offensive maneuver.
Lightly armed "battle taxis" designed primarily for the safe transport of troops through hazardous areas. Heavily armed troop carriers, such as the M2
Military forces categorize ACVs based on their intended mission and weight class.
Armored combat vehicles (ACVs) are military platforms designed to balance mobility, firepower, and protection on the battlefield. While often confused with tanks, ACVs encompass a broad range of vehicles tailored for diverse roles, from troop transport to heavy reconnaissance. Classification and Primary Roles and mortar carrier roles
Specialized platforms for mission command, medical evacuation, and mortar carrier roles, often replacing legacy systems like the M113 .
