The M2 Bradley/Bradley IFV infantry fighting vehicle was manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armament in the name of U.S. Army five-star General Omar Bradley. Fang needed to develop an infantry fighting vehicle with a life support system and the ability for soldiers to shoot from the inside to the outside. A variety of test vehicles were subsequently developed. In 1963, the United States and West Germany began the development program of the MBT-70 main combat vehicle and "mechanized disguise." The development plan of "Infantry Fighting Vehicle" was developed by Pacific Automobile and Foundry Company. Later , the prototype vehicle developed by Pacific Automobile and Foundry Company was considered to be too bulky and heavy and was not adopted by the US military. In April 1972, it was considered that the M113 armored in active service at that time. The troop carrier is no longer fit for the requirements of the battle. The U.S. Army has launched a new development program for the infantry fighting vehicle. The program has been competed by the Chrysler Group, FMC Group, and Pacific Motors and Foundry. FMC Group won the bid. FMC Group produced the XM in the summer of 1975. -732 Footage Fighting Vehicle XM-732 Footwear Fighting Vehicle was later modified according to the opinions of the US military.
