It comes with option periods, which would increase the contract value to $271.5 million if exercised.

Kongsberg Contract Supports USMC Force Design Structure

The 30mm turret will provide direct fire support to USMC units, marking the service’s return to maritime expeditionary operations from land-based warfare under its Force Design restructuring plan, Naval Technology reported.

Kongsberg secured the base contract, worth $329 million, in November 2024 for the procurement of 175 turrets for the ACV-30 vehicles. The contract also requires program management support; tooling development; associated turret hardware, interfaces and software; logistics management information data development; training materials development; technical manual development; and field service representative and training support for integration and fielding.
