Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology
Abstract
The objective of this program element (PE) is to mature and demonstrate combat and tactical vehicle automotive technologies that enable Army transformation to a lighter, more mobile and more survivable force. This PE supports maturation and demonstration of enabling component and subsystems for ground combat/tactical vehicles in the areas of survivability (project 221), mobility (project 441), combat vehicle electronics (project 497), and robotic ground systems (project 515). . Projects 533 and 53D fund congressional special interest items. Project C66 supports classified activities. Properly accessed individuals can obtain further information from the ASA(ALT) Special Programs Office. Work in this PE is coordinated with, PEs 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability, Robotics Technology), 0602105A (Materials), 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), 0602705A (Battery/Ind Power Technology), 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), and 0708045A (Manufacturing Technology). Work in this PE is coordinated with the US Marine Corps, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, the Naval Research Laboratory, Air Force Armaments Command, and other ground vehicle developers within the Departments of Energy, Commerce, and Transportation as well as DARPA. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Warren, Michigan.
