Ground Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) 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 PE also 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. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas in support of the National Defense Strategy. Research is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Futures Command and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Research in this PE complements PE 0602144A (Ground Technology), PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology), and PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology).
