General Dynamics showcased a broad portfolio of military technologies during Modern Day Marine 2026, highlighted by the ARV-30 reconnaissance vehicle.
Equipped with a 30 mm cannon and an 8×8 configuration, the model is designed to expand reconnaissance and combat capabilities by integrating advanced sensors, connectivity, and command systems into a single platform tailored for the modern battlefield.
In addition to the new vehicle, the company presented digital and logistics support solutions, such as the Digital Twin Sustainment Suite (DTSS), which uses simulation and virtual training to enhance maintenance and troop readiness. The goal is to improve operational efficiency and ensure greater equipment availability in real-world scenarios, reinforcing the importance of sustainment in military strategy.
On the technological front, systems such as RAMPART CMOSS and PhantomLink demonstrate advances in communications and data integration. While the former consolidates multiple functions into a single, easily upgradable module, the latter uses laser communication to ensure high-speed and secure data transmission, even in hostile environments with electronic interference.
Another highlight was the presentation of military bridging systems, including COBRA, integrated with an unmanned vehicle and scheduled for testing in 2026. Alongside it, solutions such as HYDRA and VIPER expand the ability of ground forces to cross obstacles, offering modular and adaptable options for different types of missions, from light to heavy.
