The U.S. Marine Corps and Kongsberg Defense Corp inaugurated a new facility in Pennsylvania on February 20, 2026, to produce the stabilized 30mm cannon system for the ACV-30 variant of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle.
This development supports U.S.-based manufacturing and enhances operational readiness amid Force Design 2030 initiatives. The ACV-30 offers improved firepower, survivability, and mobility compared to the legacy LVTP-7, enabling the Marine Corps to conduct modern amphibious operations effectively.
