Development
Based on decades of experience in the development of upgrades and service life extension projects, FFG has developed this highly innovative support vehicle completely from scratch. Based on the lessons learned from more than 1,600 upgraded vehicles in numerous international projects, as well as the extensive testing and trials of FFG's PMMC G5, all have been incorporated into the final design of the ACSV G5.
Design
The ACSV G5 uses latest technologies and represents the current state of the art of tracked vehicles. The electronic design follows the NATO Generic Vehicle Architecture (NGVA) and meets extremely high requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and data security through consistent red-black separation. The CAN bus allows fast data exchange between the individual vehicle components and enables rapid fault analysis.
Track system
The ACSV G5 runs on a composite rubber track system that dramatically reduces vibration and noise both inside and outside the vehicle. As a result, the "rubber track" reduces stress on equipment as well as on the soldiers inside the vehicle. The track's contact length and width provide very low ground pressure and guarantee excellent mobility on all surfaces, especially on snow, soft sand or boggy ground.

Mission module: 10 foot container
For optimum modularity, the ACSV G5 mission module variant is designed to carry both industry standard and custom modules. Equipped with standardized ISO container connectors for 10-foot and 6.5-foot containers.
Cargo variant with loading crane
The vehicle can also be equipped with a loading crane. Removable side panels and a large number of lashing points on the loading area enable safe transport of all kinds of loads. The ACSV G5 has standardized interfaces for high voltage current, data transmission and hydraulic supply for easy replacement of customer-specific mission modules.
Enlosed variant
The enclosed variant of the ACSV G5 is based on the same highly mobile and advanced vehicle platform while providing the largest enclosed interior space of any tracked vehicle. The enclosed modular carrier is the perfect choice for sensitive missions such as mobile command posts, joint fire support, special weapons and drones. The unique interior volume makes the ACSV G5 the ideal vehicle as a protected crew or rescue transport vehicle.
Ground based air defence system
Providing electrical and hydraulic power supply, as well as standardised connections for data transmission, the ACSV G5 is the perfect platform for fitting missile weapon systems. Air defence systems can be mounted in all forms to meet the requirements of a range of needs, from basic defence to supporting highly mobile combat units. The superior mobility provided by the vehicle's advanced composite tracks enhances platform survivability and ensures maximum flexibility for all mission requirements.
