and development,” he shares.“ We’ re currently working on several projects that support future combat platforms as well as current systems. We’ re working on lightweighting technology across multiple platforms, for instance, and identifying new technologies to improve ride quality. On the commercial side, we’ re developing new undercarriage technology and rubber track compounds.”
The integration of Loc into American Rheinmetall’ s operations not only strengthens the company’ s market position in North America amid competition for highvolume major orders in the US but also combines design and manufacturing expertise.“ American Rheinmetall was really a design house, but Loc has bolstered our manufacturing capabilities with an impressive 1.7M sq ft of manufacturing space across four facilities alongside refined processes and qualifications,” Matthew says.
“ We have a fully deployed quality system in place, and our ERP system is consistent across all facilities to enable greater control from both a quality and supply chain perspective,” Jason confirms.“ Our fabrication facility includes some of the largest brake presses in North America, which allow us to form armored structures up to 50 feet in length. Our overall manufacturing capabilities perfectly complement American Rheinmetall’ s design capabilities and existing platforms to create a truly unique global organization.”
Delving into American Rheinmetall’ s current and ongoing projects, we’ re keen to hear more about the XM30 program.“ We’ re very pleased with the progress we’ re making on the XM30 program,” Matthew states.“ Having completed the preliminary design review and ordered materials with long lead times, we’ re now preparing for the critical design review and prototype build.
