Rheinmetall-Led Team Lynx Awarded U.S. Army's Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle Contract

The U.S. Army awarded Rheinmetall-led Team Lynx a contract for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) Phase 3 Detailed Design and Phase 4 Prototype Build and Test phases of the five-phased program, now named the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program. The Army awarded a total of two contracts for Phase 3 and 4 performance. The two competitors will now complete the designs that began in the Phase 2 Concept Design phase and build at least seven and as many as 11 prototypes for Army evaluation with a full contract value in excess of $700 million. Team Lynx comprises of American Rheinmetall, Textron Systems, Raytheon Technologies, L3Harris Technologies, Allison Transmission, and Anduril Industries. The next-generation XM30 can operate with other units or independently. The Army will be able to tailor the Lynx OMFV to meet specific missions or threats. These features also reduce the training and logistics burden. The Lynx OMFV’s Ground Combat Systems Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) hosts an electrical, software, and structural architecture that results in a modular concept that reduces production and lifecycle costs.
