No picture

This article is among several that may need a picture or image to help the reader visualize the subject. Should someone put a picture there? B-) (talk) 20:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

A picture what exactly? This is a program in the concept phase. There's nothing concrete enough for an image yet. -Fnlayson (talk) 00:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Mobility

The whole paragraph about mobility, that starts with "The ACV 1.1 is to carry 10–13 Marines", makes no sense .

" 'in-line' drive technology " -- distribution of power onto wheels, based on their friction, is not anything new, for a decade . While ACV has nearly the same contact surface as LAV III, it weights ~2 times more . Every aspect of its mobility on extremely-soft surfaces has to be much worse than of any tracked analog .

"Better mobility" from some source in military, probably means tactically cheaper and faster relocations in conditions of the intended application . Saying that the vehicle has better (just) "mobility" than the tracked ones, is just wrong .

No Discussion of Vehicle Instability in Heavy Seas and Documented Rollover Incidents at Sea

With its high center of mass, critics have pointed out that its natural reaction at sea in response to a strong wave coming from the side is to roll over into a wheels-up position. The older AAV, that it replaced had a low center of mass and automatically would recover from rolling over. Why is BAE Systems concealing the obvious here? Same with the Marine Corps who has insisted that rollovers at sea were the result of inadequate training instead of the vehicle's obvious physical traits.
