Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology
Abstract
This PE matures, integrates and demonstrates combat and tactical vehicle automotive technologies that enable a lighter, more mobile and more survivable force. This PE executes the Army's Combat Vehicle Prototyping program to mature, integrate and demonstrate ground vehicle leap ahead technologies in support of future combat vehicles. Project 221 (Combat Vehicle Survivability) matures, integrates and demonstrates protection and survivability technologies such as active protection systems, advanced vehicle armors, blast mitigation and occupant safety devices to address both current and emerging advanced threats to ground vehicles. Project 441 (Combat Vehicle Mobility) matures and demonstrates advanced ground vehicle power and mobility technologies such as powertrains, power generation and storage, water and fuel logistics, and running gear subsystems for military ground vehicles to enable a more efficient, mobile and deployable force. Project 497 (Combat Vehicle Electro) matures, integrates, and demonstrates vehicle electronics hardware (computers, sensors, communications systems, displays, and vehicle command/control/driving mechanisms) and software that result in increased crew efficiencies, vehicle performance, reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) burdens and vehicle maintenance costs. Project 515 (Robotic Ground Systems) matures and demonstrates unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) technologies with a focus on sensors, perception hardware and software, and robotic control algorithms that enable UGV systems to maneuver on and off road at speeds which meet mission requirements with minimal human intervention. Work in this PE is coordinated with, PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), 0602784 (Military Engineering Technology), 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), 0603005 (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), 0603125A (Combating Terrorism Technology Development), 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology), 0603734 (Military Engineering Advanced Technology), 0604115A (Technology Maturation Initiatives), and 0708045A (Manufacturing Technology). Beginning in FY20, work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology), 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), and 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. All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the United States Army Futures Command.
