GM Defense and General Dynamics Land Systems are teaming up on a bid to build the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle for the U.S. armed forces.
"I see tremendous synergies as we seek to leverage our core capabilities in integrated vehicles, power and propulsion and mobility and autonomy to support the OMFV program. We look forward to collaborating with a great company such as General Dynamics Land Systems, as we combine and leverage our advanced technologies, digital design expertise and manufacturing scale to help produce the most capable infantry fighting vehicle for the U.S. Army warfighter.
The contract has a potential value of $45 billion over its lifetime to the winning team. An image of the proposed vehicle has not been released, and most details on the project remain under wraps.
