It was the only company to deliver physical bid sample in the last go-around. The Army is not requiring a bid sample in the new OMFV competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/07\/17\/army-drops-draft-rfp-for-bradley-replacement\/\" target=_blank>put out a draft solicitation in July <\/a>and plans to release its request for proposals to industry in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service plans to request whitepapers and then choose five prime contractor teams to design rough digital prototypes. The service will then award up to three contracts for a detailed design and prototype phase that will include options for low-rate initial production. One vendor will be selected to go into production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could a partnership between BAE Systems and Elbit America mean the two companies are preparing
