The term ‘Wolf’ has been applied to two distinct military vehicle developments by different manufacturers. 

In September 2026, Jaguar Land Rover unveiled the ‘Wolf Series II’ via its Defender Defence Division. These vehicles, including Tactical Mobility, Mono-Tactical Mobility, and Utility variations, utilize a D7x aluminum monocoque architecture designed to meet UK Ministry of Defence requirements for the Light Mobility Vehicle procurement program and NATO nations.

In October 2026, General Dynamics Land Systems presented the Wolf XM30 infantry fighting vehicle at the AUSA exhibition. This platform is a contender in the U.S. Army’s XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle program to replace the M2/M3 Bradley. The vehicle employs a Modular Open Systems Approach to facilitate hardware and software integration.
