Money budgeted for the canceled General Dynamics Corp. Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle will be used for a variety of tactical ground vehicles over the next five years, according to Lieutenant General George J. Flynn.
The Marine Corps expects at the end of January to request information from defense contractors for three types of vehicles: the Marine Corps Personnel Carrier, an updated version of existing armored amphibious vehicles, and a new amphibious vehicle to carry rifle squads from sea to land, Flynn, head of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia, said today in a telephone news briefing.
