The M2 Bradley is being replaced by this

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the Task & purpose article which is focused on the replacement for the M-2 Bradley AFV and possibly the M1126 8-wheeled Stryker by the “Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle” which hints towards drone warfare.

"The ground combat vehicle prototype weighs in at 53 tons, which is twice the weight of the Bradley, but it's capable of carrying a whole squad of nine dismounted troops. The OMFV will have the added ability to engage targets high in the sky or low down below the ground, and it will pack a way harder punch with a 50mm or possibly 40mm autocannon instead of the Bradley’s 25mm. Yes, you read that correctly, we’re talking about a massive 50mm sized autocannon.

One of the coolest features of the OMFV is the Trophy active protection system. It detects incoming RPGs and missiles and dynamically calculates their flight path, then shoots them down in mid air. If you’ve ever been assigned as the Quick Reaction Force element on deployment, you understand how important speed is, especially when there is an IED attack two miles away - You need a vehicle that can get you there and dismounted quickly.

Remember, if you’re looking to make a career change, the Purdue Cyber Apprenticeship Program is a perfect venue to prove yourself and take the next steps for your future. In addition to training being conducted entirely online, P-CAP offers varying start dates and accepts apprentices on a rolling basis."

Great looking fighting vehicle.

Sounds Comfy, like the old P-5 Amphibian Vehicle that I helped retire from the USMC in 1972, at least they can get the whole squad in it.
