WTF is wrong with the ACV???

Thanks to Carlton for the link!

 

Don't even need instruments to know that those waves are too high to be landing vehicles. But still. This is disturbing. This vehicle seems to have an issue staying upright in the water.

I sometimes wonder if simply buying the FNSS vehicle wouldn't have been a better option.

Still don't know how the ACV fits in FD2030.  Still don't get how this vehicle will adequately fulfill the ship to shore mission (again with FD2030 I would think that the time afloat vs ashore will shift drastically to more time afloat).

And to be blunt I have to wonder about the training.

We've heard of at least 4 (I believe) incidents of this type and I bet that there are others we haven't.

I'm a BAE fan but I have to wonder if this is the right vehicle for the job...or if this vehicle is even needed in the drastic makeover that the New Marine Corps is on.
