Integris Composites is set to collaborate with American Rheinmetall on the US Army’s $45-billion XM30 Combat Vehicle program.
As Rheinmetall’s armor partner, Integris will supply advanced composite armor and leverage its proprietary Accelerated Innovation approach, which combines decades of ballistic and blast data, advanced modeling, and rapid prototyping to deliver optimized armor solutions faster than conventional methods.
The XM30 program, launched to replace the decades-old M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, aims to enhance survivability, mobility, and modular open-systems capabilities for the army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams.
Rheinmetall is one of two prime contractors selected to design, develop, and build the platform.
Integris Composites CEO Andrew Bonham said the “transformational initiative” will not only modernize the US Army but also “create high-tech American jobs.”
Building the New XM30
The XM30 is a centerpiece of the US Army’s effort to field a more survivable, networked, and versatile fighting vehicle.
Designed for multi-domain operations, the XM30 will feature advanced sensors, open-architecture electronics, and modular armor systems.
The new vehicle is being developed to provide greater battlefield awareness and protection in contested environments, combining manned and unmanned capabilities and supporting a range of mission payloads.
In May 2025, the US Army used virtual simulations to integrate real-time soldier feedback into digital twin models of the XM30. The aim was to refine ergonomics, visibility, and system interfaces ahead of physical testing.
Integris’ involvement builds on its earlier collaboration with the US Army in the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft program, where it supplied next-generation composite armor solutions.
