Next Stage in Former OMFV Competition

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) has been awarded a US Army $768.7 million firm-fixed-price contract for Phase III and IV (detailed design and prototype build and testing) for the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV) competition – previously known as the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV). The XM30 is destined to replace the existing Bradleys as the Army’s next-generation IFV.

“Our highly affordable XM30 development approach maximizes performance to the Army’s requirements, and delivers a vehicle that is purpose-built for the mission. [It] was designed from its inception in our digital engineering environment, allowing efficient and agile integration of transformative capabilities on a platform that embodies the Army’s vision for the Ground Combat Systems Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA),” commented GDLS VP/GM of Operations, Gordon Stein.
