The Forward Console Variant (FCV) is a further development of the ORC-ACV and is configured with the console as far forward as possible. This gives a larger aft deck area for deploying a varying combination of troops and equipment. The transom is arranged as a removable panel for ease of loading/unloading. The open aft deck area can be arranged to accommodate seating for up to 8 troops or used as a load area for other equipment.
