  • The Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle (PACV), also known as the Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) in Army and Coast Guard service, was a United States Navy and Army hovercraft used as a patrol boat in marshy and riverine areas during the Vietnam War between 1966 and 1970. Six hovercraft were built, three for the Army and three for the Navy. The military developed the PACV because its lack of draft meant that it could operate unimpeded in the shallow and reed-choked waters widespread in South Vietnam, most notably in the Mekong Delta and Plain of Reeds. The PACV was also found to be valuable because of its unusually high speed of 60 knots (110 km/h; 69 mph), faster than other watercraft in the conflict. However, it faced major drawbacks, including its high cost of $1 million (equivalent to 13 Patrol Boat, Rivers) and unreliability. During the conflict, two of the Army's three hovercraft were destroyed by the Viet Cong. The PACVs in Vietnam were considered "unsuccessful" in evaluations and were withdrawn in 1970. Following their service in Vietnam, the Navy PACVs returned to the United States where they were used by the Coast Guard, where another sank in an accident. (en)
  • Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle (PACV, z ang. „poduszkowiec patrolowy”) – typ amerykańskich poduszkowców wojskowych opracowanych w połowie lat 60. XX wieku przez przedsiębiorstwo na bazie pojazdów produkowanych przez . Wyprodukowano cztery poduszkowce tego typu dla United States Navy oraz dodatkowe trzy, oznaczone Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV), zmodyfikowane na potrzeby United States Army. Pojazdy wykorzystywane były podczas wojny wietnamskiej, głównie do zadań patrolowych, wsparcia ogniowego i transportu niewielkich oddziałów piechoty. Uzbrojenie PACV stanowił pojedynczy lub podwójny karabin maszynowy M2 kalibru 12,7 mm zamontowany nad kabiną pojazdu oraz dwa karabiny maszynowe M60 zamontowanych na bokach poduszkowca. Dodatkowo pojazd mógł zostać wyposażony w sterowany zdalnie pojedynczy lub podwójny granatnik kalibru 40 mm bądź karabin maszynowy M60 umieszczony na rufie. (pl)
