The U.S. Army has awarded American Rheinmetall Vehicles and its Team Lynx partners — Textron Systems, Raytheon Technologies, L3Harris Technologies, Allison Transmission, and Anduril Industries — a contract for Phases 3 and 4 of the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program. These phases, covering detailed design and prototype production/testing, have a combined value exceeding $700 million, with each team expected to deliver between seven and eleven prototypes for evaluation.
As part of this effort, Integris Composites has been selected by American Rheinmetall as the armour technology partner for the XM30 program — a major step placing the company at the forefront of next-generation combat survivability initiatives. The announcement coincides with Integris showcasing its advanced composite armour systems at the AUSA 2025 exposition in Washington, D.C.
The XM30 will replace the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle and is expected to serve as the backbone of the U.S. Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams for decades to come. “This transformational program will modernize the Army’s maneuver force, strengthen America’s defense industrial base, and create high-tech U.S. jobs,” said Andrew Bonham, CEO of Integris Composites.
At AUSA, Integris is presenting its cutting-edge Accelerated Innovation approach — a process leveraging an extensive database of ballistic and blast solutions, advanced digital modeling, and rapid prototyping to deliver optimized protection faster than traditional methods.
Bonham emphasized that the XM30’s modular open-systems architecture aligns perfectly with Integris’ advanced design capabilities. “Our collaboration with American Rheinmetall demonstrates our dedication to supporting the Army’s top modernization priorities,” he added.
Integris is already a Tier One supplier to leading defense OEMs worldwide, contributing armor systems for the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyer, the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft, Boeing’s MH-139 Grey Wolf, and the C-130J transport aircraft, as well as the CV90 combat vehicle in use by several NATO countries.
Operating across multiple U.S. locations — including a technical design center in Hebron, Ohio, a vehicle design facility in Goleta, California, and global headquarters in Tysons Corner, Virginia — Integris continues to expand its role within the defense manufacturing base.
Cordova concluded, “The XM30 program represents a transformative step in the modernization of U.S. ground forces, reinforcing domestic production capabilities and creating high-value American jobs. Our partnership with American Rheinmetall ensures Integris remains at the forefront of next-generation armored vehicle innovation.”
