Army Seeks Innovative Solutions for Ground Combat Vehicles Amid Shift to CSO Model

The service is considering alternatives to the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program and is looking to leverage commercially available solutions to deliver capabilities to the warfighter more quickly. The Army is also shifting towards a commercial solutions opening (CSO) model, which could have implications for the broader defense industry. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
