tender. The Czech Republic is looking to acquire
up to 210 new medium-weight combat vehicles
in the near term. A number of neighboring co-
untries are watching the decision closely.
From the Czech Republic, Lynx continued its
journey to Washington, D.C. to participate in
AUSA in October 2018. Rheinmetall, together
with its US partner Raytheon Company, made
clear their intent to pursue the US Army's Next-
-Generation Combat Vehicle-Optionally Manned
Fighting Vehicle (NGCV-OMFV) program. Dra-
wing on Rheinmetall's and
Raytheon's combined
systems integration expertise, the international
team plans to offer a variant of Lynx equipped with
guided missiles and sensors. Under NGCV-OMFV,
the US Army intends to replace its entire fleet of
Bradley Fighting Vehicles (BFVs), starting in 2026 –
several thousand vehicles in all.
