U.S. Marines Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle Is Coming

The U.S. Marine Corps badly needs a replacement for its rapidly-aging Light Armored Vehicle.

The Marine Corps is on the hunt for a reconnaissance vehicle that would be able to replace their LAV-25, the Light Armored Vehicle that initially entered service with the Marine Corps in the early 1980s.

The LAV has a lot to offer. It is amphibious, sports a 25-millimeter Bushmaster autocannon, and can transport six fully-equipped Marines and three crew members. Still, the vehicle is quickly approaching forty years old and is in some ways a throwback to Cold War-era planning.
