The U.S. Army opens up detailed design and prototyping phases of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle competition releasing a request for proposals to industry.
While the future leader of U.S. Army Futures Command has yet to be named, Maj. Gen. Ross Coffman will pin on his third star and take over as deputy commanding general of the service's modernization branch.
The service has no requirements for a hybrid electric capability when it comes to the optionally manned fighting vehicle, but it does have the need for a reduced logistics footprint.
