Next Generation Combat Vehicle (OMFV)
Abstract
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 Army is seeking a transformational increase in warfighting capability, not simply another incremental improvement over the current Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The 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 Life Cycle Environmental Profiles both natural and induced to remain safe, suitable and effective and with significantly reduced logistical burdens. The vehicle will include an architecture to allow for increased capability and growth margin. In close combat, the 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. 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. This program supports the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross Functional Team.
