What does ACU mean in UNCLASSIFIED

An Armored Command Unit (ACU) is an armored vehicle used by military and law enforcement organizations. It is typically heavily armored and equipped with a variety of weapons systems.

An ACU provides a layer of armor that protects personnel from bullets, explosives, and other hazards found on the battlefield or during police operations. Additionally, it enables increased mobility for troops or officers operating in dangerous areas as it can be deployed quickly on short notice.

Depending on the specific model of ACU, it can be equipped with a variety of weapons systems such as machine guns, grenade launchers, missiles, rocket launchers, laser designators, night vision devices and more.

The level of protection offered by an ACU will depend largely on its design but they are generally quite effective against most types of hostile fire such as small arms fire or shrapnel from explosions. However, they may not be able to withstand direct hits from large high-explosive projectiles or direct-fire tank shells.

The price of an ACU depends on various factors such as size, configuration and purpose but they can range from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on their features and capabilities.
