The ACV 30 is a modern infantry fighting vehicle built to move troops safely while delivering direct fire support on the front line. Designed for high threat environments, it balances mobility, protection, and firepower in a compact tracked platform. The vehicle is part of the wider Armored Combat Vehicle family and is tailored for countries seeking an affordable but capable IFV.

Manufacturer

ACV 30 is developed and produced by FNSS Defense Systems of Turkey. FNSS has decades of experience supplying armored vehicles to NATO members and partner nations. The ACV program builds on combat proven designs used across the Middle East and Asia.

Speed and Range

Powered by a turbocharged diesel engine, the ACV 30 reaches road speeds of about 65 kilometers per hour. Its operational range is roughly 500 kilometers, depending on terrain and payload. A torsion bar suspension allows stable movement over rough ground, supporting both urban and cross country operations.

Cost and Price

Exact unit cost depends on configuration, armor package, and turret selection. Open source estimates place the ACV 30 in the mid range IFV market, making it less expensive than heavy Western IFVs while offering modern systems and weapons.

Combat Role and Capabilities

The vehicle typically mounts a 30 mm automatic cannon in a two man or remote turret, paired with a coaxial machine gun. Optional anti tank guided missiles can be integrated. Composite armor protects against small arms, artillery fragments, and mines. Thermal sights, laser rangefinder, and digital fire control support day and night combat.
