Next Generation Combat Vehicle
The Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) is a United States Army program intended to procure a variety of armored vehicles to add new capabilities to Army units and replace existing platforms that are nearing the end of their service life. The program covers the following systems:
The project began in 2017 after the previous Ground Combat Vehicle program was canceled. The deadline of the projects is expected to be 2035. Multiple groups competed for the bid. The Army gave the contract to a six member consortium - Lockheed Martin, SAIC, GS Engineering, Inc., Moog Inc., Hodges Transportation Inc. and Roush Industries.
The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is the replacement for the M113. In 2014, the Army selected BAE Systems' proposal of a turretless variant of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. As of 2015[update] the program was scheduled to deliver 2,897 AMPVs in five variants.
Mobile Protected Firepower is a fire support vehicle. It is similar to the M8 Armored Gun System program canceled in 1996, or the M1128 mobile gun system being retired in 2022.
In November 2019, the Army released a request for proposals for the Mobile Protected Firepower.
In December 2018, the Army downselected BAE Systems' and General Dynamics Land Systems' proposals to move forward.
BAE offered a vehicle based on the M8 Armored Gun System. GDLS offered a variant of the Griffin II.
On June 28, 2022, the Army selected the GDLS Griffin II light tank as the winner of the MPF program, with an initial contract for 96 vehicles.
