Yes it’s in the rear of the turret. I’m not sure if it’s really a full autoloader, it might just be a ramming system like on the later soviet heavy tanks. It also only holds 4 rounds as well.

Ooh when did they show this one? I thought ACV 30 not made yet
It’s made, it’s actually in full rate production and in service. The variant with Javelins/Stinger’s and rear mounted RADAR w/ EO/IR sight is just a prototype.

Agreed, there’s in excess of 200 ordered/received. Idk the exact numbers. There’s a plan to modify the ACV-30’s with anti-drone systems, what that entails is unknown right now.
Maybe a modified IF-LK to target drones amongst other munitions?

Seriously? A little while back on some thread I was talking about possible drone defences for Marines and anti drone on stuff like LAV-25 came up. I guess they are doing it with the much larger ACV-30, nice
Yeah I hope rather than just EW it’s a hard-kill APS. Best I can think of is IF-LK unless Raytheon, BAE, or someone else has something similar developed. Raytheon Quick Kill APS take 2 lol.

Me too, by the way have you seen an ACV in person?
I haven’t but from what it looks like it’s a big ass 8x8 lol, have you?
Honestly looks like it has some pretty thick composite/NERA on the sides. Doubtful its ERA considering the USMC isn’t a fan of ERA.
yeah i have, I was lucky too since it was next to an LAV-AT. you are right, it is huge. makes the LAV look small. its a pretty neat vehicle on the inside too. i wasnt paying too much attention to the armor but I do recall the door being pretty chunky

Nice! Did you take any pics?
The vehicle past the LAV-AT is the ACV (sorry for bad photography lol)
Here is the door I was talking about

My beloved </3 lmao. Need US ATGM Carrier’s.
Anyways nice man! Yeah, that’s a pretty large door and quite a bit of armor all over the thing. Honestly, I hope they slap an MTAS turret on the ACV-platform as well. Dedicated ACV-ATM that could fire TOW-2’s and the Coyote Block 3 drones would be sick.

they could fit a whole lot of ammo in that thing. maybe even retain the .50 cal too
if MTAS cant happen i hope they put CROWS-J on it
