Ground Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates ground movement and maneuver technologies that support and enable the Army's modernization priority for the Next Generation of Combat Vehicles. This Project matures, integrates and demonstrates advanced technologies that are necessary and foundational for legacy and future ground platforms and ground maneuver. These technology areas include: robotic and autonomous Army Combat Engineer equipment, liquid logistics (i.e., fuels, lubricants, and oils) and related monitoring and distribution, forensic analysis of explosives and other chemical materials, rapidly deployable passive protection technologies, entry and maneuver assessment technologies and structural hardening technologies to protect personnel and critical assets from advanced weapon effects. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. 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 U.S. Army Futures Command and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Work in this PE complements PE 0602114A (Ground Technology), PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology), and PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology).
