Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) executes development, maturation, and demonstration for the Army's modernization priority for the Next Generation of Combat Vehicle (NCCV). This PE matures, integrates and demonstrates combat vehicle technologies that enable the Army to have a smarter, faster, more lethal, more precise, more protected, and more adaptable force. Technology development builds upon the foundational vehicle architectures to support the NGCV, to include autonomy architecture, power architecture, vehicle electronic architecture, physical architecture, lethality architecture and vehicle protection architecture. Technologies developed, matured, and demonstrated will enable leap ahead capabilities for manned, optionally manned and unmanned vehicles that deliver decisive lethality. Research in this PE complements PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology), PE 0602144A (Ground Technology), PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology), PE 0602146A (Network C3I Technology), PE 0603116A (Lethality Advanced Technology), PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology), PE 0603463A (Network C3I Advanced Technology), PE 0604115A (Technology Maturation Initiatives), and PE 0708045A (End Item Industrial Preparedness Activities). Research in this PE also transitions to PE 0603645A (Armored Systems Modernization Adv Dev) and PE 0604017A (Robotics Development). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This PE is directly aligned to the NGCV Army Modernization Priority. Research is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Futures Command and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center.
