The U.S. Army has chosen four companies to each submit a prototype as part of the light Robotic Combat Vehicle development competition the National Advanced Mobility Consortium manages for the service branch.

HDT Global, Oshkosh (NYSE: OSK), Textron (NYSE: TXT) and QinetiQ North America received a request for prototype proposals to proceed to the next RCV-L program phase following the down-selection process, NAMC said Friday.

Defense News reported Monday QinetiQ NA teamed up with Pratt & Miller to compete for the program and  Textron partnered with FLIR Systems (Nasdaq: FLIR) to offer the Ripsaw M5 platform to the service branch.

The Army could issue up to two contracts by the end of fiscal 2020™s second quarter for the procurement of four non-developmental RCV-L units and evaluate surrogate vehicles for one year through various tests such as manned-unmanned teaming exercises.
