 * 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.
