Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology

Abstract

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Direct War/Enduring Operations dollars in the amount of $0.987 million in Project BF8 Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Tech will continue to support the research for the Army's modernization priority for the Next Generation of Combat Vehicles. This PE researches, designs, and evaluates combat vehicle technologies that enable the Army to have a smarter, faster, more lethal, more precise, more protected, and more adaptable force. The focus is on building upon the foundational vehicle architectures to support the Next Generation of Combat Vehicles, to include autonomy architecture, power architecture, vehicle electronic architecture, physical architecture, lethality architecture and vehicle protection architecture. The research conducted will provide technologies to enable leap ahead capabilities for manned, optionally manned and unmanned vehicles that deliver decisive lethality. All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this PE complements PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology), PE 0602144A (Ground Technology), PE 0602146A (Network C3I Technology), PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), PE 0603116A (Lethality Advanced Technology), PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology), and PE 0603463A (Network C3I Advanced Technology). Work in this PE will transition to PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed by the United States Army Futures Command and United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center.

Change Summary Explanation
FY2022 funding change due to partial administrative realignments of research in 4 Projects BI2, BH5, BG6 and BF6 to PE 0602144A Ground Technology for better alignment to the mid- to far term priorities of the Ground portfolio; administrative realignment from Project BF8 to university-based research projects in the Ground, Air, Network, Soldier and Lethality BA2 portfolios; realignment from Project BG6 to PE 0603041A All Domain Convergence Advanced Technology for Collaborative convergence advanced technology development. BF3 - Funding in this effort was increased to emphasis the development of the Human Robotic Interactions, with a major Engineering Evaluation Test (EET) being conducted to technically understand the maturation level of each technology and how an operator will interact with the robotic asset. BF6 - Funding change reflects planned lifecycle of this effort. Funding in this effort was increased to emphasis the development of the Human Robotic Interactions, with a major Engineering Evaluation Test (EET) being conducted to technically understand the maturation level of each technology and how an operator will interact with the robotic asset. BF8 - Funding increase reflects planned lifecycle of this effort to focus on architectures and models for tactical teaming. / Funding is realigned in FY 2022 to PE 0602180A (Artificial Intelligence Technologies) / CN7 Predictive Maintenance Applied / In FY2022, funding from this effort was administratively realigned to university-based research projects in the Ground, Air, Network, Soldier and Lethality BA2 portfolios BF9 - Immaterial Change BG2 - Funding increase in FY22 will expand analytical tool development to include varied meteorological conditions and terrain types and will support development of obstacle detection algorithms. Research Project in to support the application of AI/ML technology for predictive maintenance. BG6 - In FY 2022, this effort has been realigned to PE 0602144A Project CG7 Ground Protection Concepts and Technologies. / In FY2022, funding is realigned from PE 602145A Project BG6 to Advancing Concepts and Technology Forecasting (611102CH9); Collaborative Convergence Adv Tech (633041CM2) ; Ground Protection Concepts and Technologies (622144CG7). BI2 - In FY 2022, this effort has been administratively realigned to PE 0602144A Project CG5 Ground Vehicle Sensor Concepts and Technologies.
