The infantry fighting vehicle, proposed for selection under the Commonwealth government’s LAND 400 Phase 3 project, is set to support the US Army’s OMFV program.

Hanwha Defense Australia (HDA) has revealed it has been selected to support the Oshkosh Defense OMFV Consortium — a cooperative participating in the US Army’s Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program Concept Design Phase.

The consortium — which includes Hanwha Defense USA, Pratt Miller Defense, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, QinetiQ Inc., and Plasan — is expected to leverage the chassis technology used in HDA’s Redback infantry fighting vehicle (IFV).

The US Army’s OMFV program aims to replace nearly 3,800 Bradley Fighting Vehicles among its Armored Brigade Combat Teams.
