Samsung Techwin Defense

NOTE:  Of interest to Marines is the fact that Samsung has production rights to a version of the AAV (seen at about the 5 minute mark).  If the Marine Corps decides to buy new build AAV's instead of simply upgrading existing models, then you could see a price shootout between Samsung and BAE.  I would expect Lockheed Martin to come along as Samsung's partner (to make sure its Berry compliant) and that would be wild.  Also of note is the wheeled amphibious vehicle.  I wonder why a Korean company didn't offer a product for the MPC program.
