According to Northrop Grumman, the Mark 44 is slated to replace the Mark 38 25mm autocannons aboard select U.S. Navy ships and U.S. Coast Guard Cutters for the 30mm autocannon’s added benefits for increased lethality, range, programmable air bursting ammunition, an improved sensor, and gun automation, and to keep up with NATO and allied countries adopting the 30mm caliber. In addition, the Mark 44 is slated to arm the U.S. Marine Corps Amphibious Combat Vehicle in the form of a 30mm turret (ACV-30).
