In a significant modernization effort, the U.S. Army is replacing its aging fleet of Infantry Carrier Vehicle-D (ICVD) "Dragoon" Stryker 8x8 armored vehicles with the more advanced ICVVA1-30mm variant. This new development was announced on September 12, 2024, through an official post by PEO Ground Combat Systems on LinkedIn. The transition to the ICVVA1-30mm marks a key step in the Army’s broader push to equip its mechanized units with advanced technology to meet the evolving demands of modern warfare.
