Manned Ground Vehicle

Abstract

The Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) is a purpose built manned platform that maneuvers Soldiers to a point of positional advantage to engage in close combat. It is designed to operate with and may operate without a crew and Soldiers under armor based on the commander's decision. It delivers decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver while also controlling maneuver robotics and semi-autonomous systems. The platform will be optimized for operations in dense urban terrain and with significantly reduced logistical burdens. The vehicle will include an architecture to allow for increased capability and growth margin. In close combat, the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) will deliver decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver. The changing character of warfare drives changes in how the Army delivers, operates, and sustains future combat capabilities. The Army's first priority is to replace the Bradley Fighting Vehicle with the OMFV.
