### Project CF6 — Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV)

The XM30 is a minimally manned, and open architected combat vehicle 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, while employing semi-autonomous systems. It is designed to operate with, and may operate without, a crew and Soldiers under armor, based on the commander's decision. The XM30 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 close proximity while maneuvering Soldiers to tactical objectives. Once the unit has transitioned to the combined mounted/dismounted fight, the XM30s support the dismounted element with advanced sensors, lethality, protection, and integrated mission command. This synergy is crucial to the Armored Brigade Combat Team's (ABCT) ability to defeat a competitor. The XM30 provides a multitude of capabilities; principal among them are enhanced occupant survivability, overmatch lethality, and a modern system architecture with planned room for growth. The XM30 will provide the American soldier improved underbody protection due to additional roof height and other enhancements. The XM30 has enhanced optics that regain penetration capabilities and standoff against near peer threats ensuring overmatch lethality. This combat vehicle is designed for persistent modernization. It's built on a foundational open architecture using modern digital engineering tools that enable rapid upgrades to the vehicle at an accelerated pace and precludes vendor lock. The XM30 Combat Vehicle will be the primary vehicle within the ABCT for the transportation, and combat employment of infantry soldiers. It will predominantly be organized into platoons and companies within the ABCT. The total cost of the XM30 Middle Tier of Acquisition - Rapid Prototyping (MTA-RP) effort is $1,536 million, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Army (RDT&E) from FY 2021 - FY 2025. This effort is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The XM30 is a minimally manned, and open architected combat vehicle 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, while employing semi-autonomous systems. It is designed to operate with, and may operate without, a crew and Soldiers under armor, based on the commander's decision. The XM30 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 close proximity while maneuvering Soldiers to tactical objectives.

The XM30 Combat Vehicle is currently a Middle Tier Acquisition - Rapid Prototyping Program (MTA-RP) designed to maneuver Soldiers in the Forward Operating Environment to a position of advantage to engage in close combat and deliver decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver. The XM30 must exceed current capabilities while overmatching similar threat class systems. It must be optimized for urban and rural terrain areas, while also defeating pacing threats, and be characterized by the ability to spiral in advanced technologies as they mature. The capabilities desired focus to improve lethality, protection, mobility, range, survivability.
