The U.S. Army future combat armored vehicle OMFV

American Rheinmetall Vehicles (ARV), part of the German weapons maker Rheinmetall, has revealed for the first time an artist’s impression of a future armored combat vehicle that it is developing as part of U.S. Army’s Optionally-Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program.
Currently, the OMFV program is the priority ground modernization program for the U.S. Army that will replace nearly 3,800 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The program begins with digital design phases that continue through early 2023, followed by development of prototype vehicles in 2024, and government testing beginning in early 2026.
Among other research and development tasks, the CRADA provides a conduit for the team to explore integration of the U.S. Army’s XM913 50mm cannon on platforms that are potential candidates for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program. American Rheinmetall Vehicles has submitted a proposal in the Army’s Phase II of the OMFV program.
