class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MCT-30 remote turret boasting the heavier XM813 30mm cannon is currently fielded on a Stryker variant known as the Infantry Carrier Vehicle \u2013

from 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The double V-hull variant of the Stryker was manufactured due to the armored vehicle\u2019s poor performance against roadside bombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early 2019, the Corps announced it was looking at three variants of the ACV \u2014 a command and control configuration, a recovery and maintenance setup and ACVs with 30mm medium-caliber cannons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kongsberg said test article delivery of the MCT-30 turret for the ACV will kick off in early 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE told Marine Corps Times that it evaluated five vendors for the ACV turret which included a live fire assessment with more than a dozen systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKongsberg Defense and Aerospace (KDA) offered the best balance between performance, meeting the unique integration requirements of a fully amphibious system, and schedule,\u201d BAE said in an emailed statement to Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE said the MCT-30 turret selected for the ACV is a version of the 30mm gun on the Stryker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSignificant modifications to the base design were necessary for integrating into a fully amphibious combat
