The dawn of a revolution in ground combat vehicles is upon us, with militaries worldwide embracing electric powertrains and hybrid propulsion systems. Open.Tech by Amphenol offers lightweight and robust solutions capable of handling the extensive power transfers required for electric mobility vehicles and EV infrastructure. While the future of military ground mobility may be hybrid and electric, our technology will remain essential components in both legacy gasoline-powered combat vehicle systems and the cutting-edge electric platforms shaping the next generation of ground warfare. Amphenol offers open architecture solutions that are scalable providing the ability to adjust and adapt for future design changes and system upgrades.
Future case use: Next Generation Combat Vehicle
The U.S. Army’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) initiative is a program to upgrade the force with several new combat vehicle platforms. To develop these vehicles, the NGCV program is utilizing and embracing MOSA principles in a significant way.
One of the main priorities of NGCV is the development of a new infantry fighting vehicle known as the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV). The OMFV, which was recently redesignated as the XM-30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle, is the Army’s planned replacement for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, which has been a core tenet of American armored capabilities for more than 40 years.
While prototypes for the XM-30 are still in the design phase, MOSA-aligned development will allow for rapid upgrades and technology refresh for quick insertion of new innovations or to counter emerging threats throughout the lifespan of the platform.
Other programs on the horizon in the NGCV portfolio, including the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) (planned replacement for the M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier that’s been in service since the 1960s), the unmanned Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), and others, will also presumably be developed with MOSA in mind.
