L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) and its Team Lynx partners, led by American Rheinmetall Vehicles (ARV), won a contract to design and prototype the U.S. Army’s Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, now the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle.

The Lynx team also includes Textron Systems, Raytheon, Allison Transmission and Anduril Industries.
