Next Generation Combat Vehicle

The Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) is a United States Army program intended to procure a variety of armored vehicles to add new capabilities to Army units and replace existing platforms that are nearing the end of their service life.

The Army gave the contract to a six member consortium - Lockheed Martin, SAIC, GS Engineering, Inc., Moog Inc., Hodges Transportation Inc. and Roush Industries.

[9] On June 28, 2022, the Army selected the GDLS Griffin II light tank as the winner of the MPF program, with an initial contract for 96 vehicles.

[12] The Army said the OMFV will be designed "to engage in close combat and deliver decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver," and will have a 30mm cannon and a second-generation forward looking infrared system, or FLIR.

They will also develop two ballistic hulls, turrets, armor coupons, and digital model twins during this phase of the programme.

The Army announced that due to the initial design stage of the OMFV being complete, that they would be redesignating the programme as the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle.

[16] As of December 2021[update], Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) is not a Program of Record, meaning the Army has not committed to an acquisition plan.
