Description

The ACV-19 Turkish Amphibious Armored Combat Vehicle is a modern, high-performance vehicle in the 15-19 ton weight class, derived from the highly successful FNSS ACV. This vehicle has demonstrated its effectiveness with numerous armies worldwide. The ACV-19 incorporates the latest advancements in vehicle performance, offering increased internal volume and payload capacity while maintaining commonality with the ACV family of vehicles. The key differences between the ACV-15 and the ACV-19 include a longer, stretched hull featuring six road wheels, heavy-duty final drives, and enhanced suspension systems. As a result, the ACV-19 provides more space under armor and can carry heavier payloads, such as larger turrets, without sacrificing the mobility that the ACV-15 offers. Moreover, the 90% spare part commonality between the ACV-19 and ACV-15 simplifies maintenance for users of both variants. The ACV-19 chassis is equipped with a unique space-laminated armor system that combines steel and aluminum technologies to offer a high level of protection against direct kinetic energy threats. The hull also protects against mines. The vehicle is designed to be upgradeable, with growth potential that allows for customization based on user requirements. As such, it can be adapted into a versatile family of vehicles for various roles, including cavalry, infantry, main battle tank support, and artillery.
