A version made in collaboration with BAE Systems was selected by the United States Marine Corps for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle program.

It is powered by an Iveco Cursor 13 6L turbocharged multifuel diesel engine coupled with a ZF 7HP902 gearbox (seven forward and one reverse).

It incorporates a high hardness monocoque steel hull, able to protect the crew from small arms fire, artillery shell splinters, landmines, and IEDs.

[6] BAE had to redesign the original SuperAV to make it compatible with the Marine Corps mandate that any designs be based on existing platforms.

[7] The MPC submission was modified to carry three crew and nine 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) tall marines standing, each weighing 220 lb (100 kg) with gear.

It had a V-shaped hull to withstand strong bomb blasts and could travel up to 10 nmi (12 mi; 19 km) from a dock landing ship to shore and back.

Similar tests conducted by Iveco confirmed the vehicle's ability to be launched and recovered from ships and transition in surf zones.

[9][10] The Marine Personnel Carrier was put on hold in June 2013,[11] restarted in February 2014,[12] and then restructured as Phase 1 of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) program,[13] which includes the previous MPC competitor entries.

[17] On 24 November 2015, the Marines selected the BAE Systems/Iveco SuperAV, along with the SAIC Terrex, to move on to the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the ACV 1.1 program.

BAE was awarded a $103.8 million contract to build 16 vehicles by late 2016 for testing, which will begin in early 2017 and last one year.
