The Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV) G5, a tracked armoured vehicle, will replace vehicles such as the M113 APC series with a modular family that provides a high level of protection against ballistic, mine and IED threats.
FFG (Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft) will roll out the short-range air defence version of its ACSV G5 at Eurosatory 2024 in Paris this June in what will be the first sighting of the newest version of the platform being manufactured for Norway.
The ACSV, a development of the Protected Mission Module Carrier (PMMC), has been designed to be agnostic so to allow any module to be installed on the platform. The vehicle’s development has led to a range of variants being created with a number already in testing or on order.
FFG has already been contracted to deliver the ACSV as a cargo platform, fitted with crane, SHORAD, GM 200
