The US calls for lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian war to be used to create the future XM-30 combat vehicle to replace the M2 Bradley

The Congressional Research Service of the United States asked whether combat lessons from Ukraine were taken into account in the development of the new XM-30 mechanised infantry fighting vehicle, which is to replace the M-2 Bradley in 2029.
Here's What We Know
Rheinmetall and General Dynamics Land Systems are competing for the $45 billion contract to replace approximately 2,400 Bradleys.
A report by a government agency says there has been "significant" damage to infantry fighting vehicles in Ukraine due to anti-tank guided missiles and drones. In particular, the document raises questions about the vulnerability of armoured vehicles to such threats and whether these factors will be taken into account in the XM-30 project.
It also asks whether there will be an active defence system against drones and other potential threats. The report also asks how the planned changes in the US military structure will affect the procurement of the future combat vehicle.

The XM-30, formerly known as the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, is the sixth attempt by the US Army to replace the Bradley. Previous programmes, such as Future Combat Systems and Ground Combat Vehicle, were cancelled due to financial and programme constraints. In short, over the past 40 years, the Bradley has been upgraded numerous times and has now reached the technological limit for integrating new electronics, armour and defence systems.
At the same time, the XM-30 will be designed for troop transport and fire support, but will have greater firepower, mobility and protection. Key improvements include the ability to remotely control the vehicle without the presence of a crew.
The programme is currently in its third stage, which involves detailed design of the platform. After analysing the design, 11-12 prototypes will be built, and then the US Army will select the final supplier by 2027. The first XM-30s are expected to enter service in 2029.
