General Dynamics Land Systems secured a $450 million contract for the pre-production development of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV).

This phase validates the final design and funds the construction of multiple vehicle variants for government testing. The ARV will replace the long-serving Light Armored Vehicle (LAV).

The next-generation platform integrates advanced sensors, communication systems, and enhanced lethality. This program aims to provide a transformational capability for future reconnaissance missions.
