The ACV-R will replace the legacy Assault Amphibious Vehicle recovery variant (AAVR7A1) and will provide direct field support, maintenance, and recovery to the ACV family of vehicles.
 
This contract is for the first phase of the programme, which focuses on the design and development of the ACV-R during a 20-month period. The second phase of the program will include delivery of production test vehicles for user evaluation.

“The recovery variant will provide crucial recovery capability in the amphibious fleet,” said John Swift, vice president of amphibious programs at BAE Systems. “It also expands the ACV family of vehicles and demonstrates the base vehicle’s proven design, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the fleet without compromising performance.”
