The other four teams are Point Blank Enterprises, Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe partnership with Anduril brings with it exceptional innovations in software development, command and control, sensor integration, and counter-[unmanned aircraft systems] for inclusion in our OMFV offering,\u201d Matt Warnick, American Rheinmetall\u2019s managing director, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other companies in the Rheinmetall-led industry team include Textron Systems, Raytheon Technologies, L3Harris Technologies and Allison Transmission; all together they are known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/eurosatory\/2018\/06\/12\/rheinmetall-lifts-curtain-on-new-next-gen-combat-vehicle-with-hopes-to-spark-us-army-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\">Team Lynx<\/a>, a nod to Rheinmetall\u2019s vehicle that was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/10\/04\/lynx-41-disqualified-from-bradley-replacement-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\">company\u2019s planned original bid sample<\/a> in the Army\u2019s earlier attempt to hold a competition. That effort ended in the fall of 2019 when only General Dynamics Land Systems was able to deliver a physical bid sample to the Army by deadline. Rheinmetall, based in Germany, ran into issues delivering the Lynx and had to drop out of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With only one bid sample, the Army decided to scrap the competition and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/eurosatory\/2022\/06\/14\/bradley-replacement-could-be-the-us-armys-first-hybrid-combat-vehicle\/\" target=\"_blank\">reworked its strategy<\/a> in a lengthier, five-phase effort that begins with an initial design phase, then moves into a detailed design phase, followed by prototyping, testing and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The founder of virtual reality maker Oculus, Palmer Luckey, created Anduril. Its co-founders are CEO Brian Schimpf, Chief Operations Officer Matt Grimm, Joe Chen and Founders Fund partner Trae Stephens. Peter Thiel \u2015 who leads Founders Fund with Silicon Valley investors Ken Howery and Brian Singerman \u2015 created data analytics company Palantir, which has since achieved a foothold in the defense sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/04\/01\/anduril-buys-tube-launched-drone-developer-area-i\/\" target=\"_blank\">Anduril acquired Area-I, <\/a>which has made its mark in the Army aviation development community for its Altius unmanned system used in several major Army air-launched effects demonstrations and experiments to assess future capabilities that could be aboard future vertical lift aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSoftware is at the core of the weapons and military systems of the future,\u201d Zach Mears, head of strategy at Anduril, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company plans to \u201cleverage our deep experience in artificial intelligence, mission autonomy, and sensor integration to significantly reduce the cognitive burden of the OMFV\u2019s two soldier crew and provide them with next-generation tactical awareness, C2, and decisive lethality to dominate future battlefields,\u201d Mears added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will select up to three teams to participate in the detailed design phase followed by a prototyping phase. Written proposals are due by the end of October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The detailed design phase will take place in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, and the prototyping phase will begin in 2025. The Army plans to choose three teams in the third quarter of FY23 to build up to 11 prototype vehicles, two ballistic hulls and turrets, and armor coupons, as well as to provide digital engineering data, the service said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army expects to select in the fourth quarter of 2027 one company to build low-rate production vehicles. Equipping of the first unit is planned for FY29, and full-rate production is expected to begin in 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anduril Technologies is joining the
