XM30 Bradley replacement prototypes delivered to U.S. Army for testing

Rheinmetall and GDLS delivered first XM30 MICV prototypes featuring hybrid-electric propulsion, a remotely operated turret, and an XM913 50mm cannon. The designs also integrate/plan launch of loitering munitions (e.g., Switchblade 300, Coyote Block 3) and emphasize networking to control uncrewed ground vehicles, signaling a shift toward software-defined, crewed-uncrewed teaming IFVs.
