Textron Systems is strengthening the US Marine Corps’ next-generation reconnaissance capabilities through a new partnership with Vivace International Corporation. The collaboration will support production of Cottonmouth ARVs, advanced vehicles designed to improve battlefield awareness, mobility, logistics, and counter-unmanned aircraft operations. By combining Textron’s defense expertise with Vivace’s aerospace manufacturing capabilities, the program highlights the growing role of industrial partnerships in developing future military systems. Beyond enhancing Marine Corps capabilities, the initiative is expected to create economic opportunities and reinforce New Orleans’ position as a growing center for advanced defense manufacturing.
