Infantry Combat Vehicle

The Infantry Combat Vehicle (ICV) provides infantry support to Soldiers on the battlefield of tomorrow as a key component of the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Brigade Combat Team.

Each vehicle provides a highly ruggedized and self-sustaining link to the Army’s C4ISR network. The ICV will be able to access the entire spectrum of supporting firepower, communications and reconnaissance assets while providing its own lethal fire. The ICV shares common platform elements and power train with other Manned Ground Vehicle components. Its hull uses advanced technology armor, which reduces weight to optimize deployability but still maintains high ballistic protection. The hybrid electric propulsion system further reduces the logistics burden while improving mobility and enabling silent operation.

Day or night, in blackout or inclement weather, the ICV can maneuver effectively and deliver its squad of nine Soldiers ready for battle.
