General Dynamics has confirmed the successful design review of the XM30 digital infantry fighting vehicle and the delivery of a prototype for 2026

 On June 6, 2025, General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) confirmed that its initially digital infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) XM30 had passed a critical design review by the US Army, locking in the delivery of a prototype for 2026 and opening the crucial phase of a $45 billion competition to replace the Bradley fleet. The review crowns the army's first fully virtual development cycle and puts digital streaming engineering and the modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) in the spotlight.

 In a conflict environment transformed by drones and precision fire, the ability to upgrade software and hardware in months rather than years could tip the scales on tomorrow's battlefields.

Thanks to the combination of a 50mm cannon with hybrid-electric mobility and its own MOSA system, the XM30 provides a longer range, reduced acoustic and infrared visibility, as well as "plug-and-play" upgrade capabilities that are unparalleled among competitors.
