American Rheinmetall Secures Award from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace for MCT-30 Turret Machined Components Supporting USMC ACV-30 Program
American Rheinmetall has been awarded a contract from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to produce machined components for the MCT?30 medium caliber turret. These components will support the United States Marine Corps’ Amphibious Combat Vehicle infantry fighting vehicle variant, known as the ACV?30.
Under the award, valued at approximately $710,000, American Rheinmetall’s Lapeer and Lansing, Michigan facilities will manufacture machined components for MCT?30 turrets, with deliveries scheduled throughout 2026 and 2027. American Rheinmetall will perform the work as a subcontractor to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
This marks the first contract award from Kongsberg to American Rheinmetall’s Michigan operations and signifies the continued growth and diversification of the company’s U.S. customer base. The award also builds on years of successful collaboration between Kongsberg and American Rheinmetall’s Maine facility in support of the CROWS program.
“The opportunity to support Kongsberg on the ACV?30 program reflects our expanding partnership and strengthens American Rheinmetall’s role in delivering high?quality components for critical U.S. military platforms,” said Tom McDonnell, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, American Rheinmetall. “We’re proud that our Michigan facilities will contribute to the Marine Corps’ modernization priorities as it evolves into a more mobile and capable force.”
By supporting production of the MCT?30 turret for the ACV?30, this effort contributes directly to the Marine Corps’ operational readiness and mission flexibility. The award also reinforces American Rheinmetall’s growing position within the Tier 1 defense industry landscape as the company continues broadening both capability and customer reach.
