BAE
Systems and Iveco Defence
Vehicles have signed
a licensing agreement
to form the basis of
a business arrangement
for the pursuit of the
U.S. Marine Corps Personnel
Carrier (MPC) programme,
with a vehicle based
on the SUPERAV 8x8.
The MPC is designed
to fill the medium-armour
ground vehicle gap and
complements the capabilities
of the Expeditionary
Fighting Vehicle (EFV)
and the Joint Light
Tactical Vehicle (JLTV).
It will be a flexible
and highly mobile asset
for the Marines that
will be well protected,
sustainable, networked
and include a strong
swimming capability.
Both BAE Systems and
Iveco Defence Vehicles
have extensive experience
across a range of mine-protected
and armoured vehicles,
including several 8x8
models. This breadth
of experience positions
the team to jointly
address the specific
requirements of the
MPC programme.
