Manned Ground Vehicle
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Army Modernization Priority. The Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), as part of an Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), will replace the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle to provide the capabilities required to defeat a future near-peer competitor's force. The OMFV is an optionally manned platform that maneuvers Soldiers to a point of positional advantage to engage in close combat and deliver decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver. 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 Life Cycle Environmental Profiles, both natural and induced, to remain safe, suitable and effective and with significantly reduced logistical burdens. The rapidly changing character of warfare and pace of technology motivates the Army to change how it will deliver, operate and sustain the OMFV. As part of an ABCT, the OMFV will not fight alone, but rather as part of a section, platoon, and company of mechanized infantry. These companies will execute cross-domain maneuver and defeat pacing threats in the close area while maneuvering Soldiers to tactical objectives. Once the unit has transitioned to an integrated mounted and dismounted fight, the OMFV supports our Soldiers with advanced sensors, lethality, protection, and mission command. The total cost of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $1,384 million RDT&E from FY2021 to FY2024. The Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
