2. PM LAV Overview
Mission: Sustain and Modernize the Family of Light Armored Vehicles
Lines of Effort:
Anti-Tank Weapons System – replacement of the legacy M901A1 turret with a modern turret that provides long-range, stand-off anti-armor fire support to maneuvering Light Armored Reconnaissance Companies and platoons, and observation capability in all climates and during periods of limited visibility.
Reset Program - Replaces the major obsolescence drivers within the FOLAV. (power pack, driveline, and steering sub systems, and fields a modern Driver’s Instrument Panel (DIP) and LAV-25 slip ring).
Foreign Military Sales - US Program Manager for LAV acquisitions, testing and sustainment support for FMS Partners.
Fleet Sustainment – Configuration Management, Readiness Analysis (Trend Identification), Fleet Support, Integrated Logistics Support (Provisioning, Cataloging), Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages (DMSMS).

5. USMC Next Generation Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle
The USMC Next Generation Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) will be a modern combat vehicle system, capable of fighting for information, balancing competing capability demands to sense, shoot, move, communicate, and will remain transportable as part of the naval expeditionary force.
The ARV program seeks a balanced set of performance, payload, and protection attributes with sufficient design reserve to ensure the platform is readily adaptable over its service life.
Program Acquisition Strategy will be informed by:
Results of technology demonstration and trade Study efforts
Requirements generation
Programmed funding
Key Attributes:
- Land in diverse terrains and water mobility
- Transportability – 4 on LCAC
- Redundant, resilient communications
- Lethality: BLOS anti-armor capability,
- Protection against direct and indirect fires,
medium caliber autocannon
mines and IEDs, and guided munitions
- Operate in contested cyber environment
- Open systems architecture
- Deny UAS attacks
- Allows for 25% weight growth
- Employ RAS

8. USMC Next Generation Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle
Program Description
The ARV is a replacement for the legacy light armored vehicle in the Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) battalions within the Marine Divisions. ARV equipped LAR Battalions perform combined arms, all weather, sustained reconnaissance and security missions in support the Ground Combat Element. The ARV is the core capability that underpins the next generation armored reconnaissance capability concept. The ARV will be a modern combat vehicle system, capable of fighting for information, that balances competing capability demands to sense, shoot, move, communicate and remain transportable as part of the naval expeditionary force.
