In this scope, the subsystems and mission equipment used in the vehicle has been evaluated and determined according to today's technological developments in line with this program. Vehicles will be manufactured at FNSS facilities, will then be delivered to the user by FNSS in the Philippines Army. The acceptance tests will take place both in Turkey and the Philippines and the training for the vehicles will be held in Philippines under the integrated logistics support services activities.

AACE, which is the first and only combat engineering dozer vehicle with amphibious capability in the world, has proven itself successfully in the inventory of Turkish Armed Forces and has been exported abroad for the first time with this reference. FNSS is aiming to keep serving the Philippine Army with this project. Also, AACE will be the second project, after the FNSS’ One-Man Turret Project, under the Defense Industry Cooperation Agreement signed between Turkish and the Philippine governments.
