New RFI Suggests Alternative Solutions For XM30

The US Army has paused its XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program, opting not to sign off on the Milestone B approval, according to Breaking Defense. The decision comes as the Army issues a Request for Information (RFI) for alternative ground combat vehicle solutions, sparking speculation about the program’s future. American Rheinmetall and General Dynamics Land Systems will continue to develop prototypes, but the RFI may signal a shift in the Army’s acquisition strategy, which was first reported by Breaking Defense.
