Big decision in the US. Congratulations to Rheinmetall US/Textron and GDLS. Interesting times.

I do find it kind of hilarious that the Army restarted this whole OMFV competition, only to once again end up with the only company that actually got a prototype to them before (GDLS) and the one that was like a day late and was therefore rejected on a technicality (Rheinmetall).

Simon Mugford Bear BritishMilitaryRamblings Peter Cross OBE Luke Jones Think Defence Presumably ajax is recce ahead of CR3 so similar support structure/units. Just my view. Ajax is very specialised & cannot be turned into IFV I am of the view it should be canned, as much 💵 recovered & procure CV90/OMFV as well as more CR3.

Benjamin Radermacher All we really know is that the bid put forth a modified variant of the Lynx that meets OMFV/XM30 requirements.

JUST IN: Army selects General Dynamics and American Rheinmetall to move forward in OMFV (now renamed XM30) competition to replace Bradley fighting vehicles. Story to come.

Ronkainen Nice beast!!
BTW, we have June ending, and still no decision about omfv 3&4 phase? Do you know anything?

OMFV aracının ismi XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle olmuş.

Jon Hawkes Isn't BAE's offering based on CV90?

Sydney Freedberg on Twitter: 'James Jenner Thomas C. Theiner Yes, the BAE Systems, Inc. offering for U.S. Army #OMFV will probably have some CV90 heritage but the requirements have forced an all-new design: breakingdefense.com/2022/11/a-real…' / Twitter

Rheinmetall 👍 - GDLS 👎

I don't really have a dog in the OMFV (I guess XM30 now) fight, but I think I'd go with the Lynx just because it would be a hilarious change of pace to send the excessive money we pump into defense to German ghouls in Dusseldorf rather than American ghouls in Northern Virginia.

US Rheinmetall and GDLS move on to the next round OMFV.
The OMFV program is renamed XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle.

KF41 piyasaya çok hızlı daldı. Macaristana 218 tane satıldı bile. Muhtemelen Avusturalyaya 450~, Yunanistana 250, Romanyaya 52 tane satacaklar ki ABD'nin 46 milyar$ lık OMFV projesinde 3000+ araç satma ihtimalleri var. Umarım yakında hem Kaplan hem Tulpar kendine müşteri bulur.

OMFG! OMFV has a new name. Read more here. But also I learned from the Army that XM30 is not a reference to the gun (which is a 50mm) but to 2030 being the modernization goal post of the Army. defensenews.com/industry/techw…
