Close Combat Systems Adv Dev

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) provides for the Concept Exploration and Refinement of Terrain Shaping Obstacles. This PE develops alternatives to the Family of Scatterable Mines systems. Project 606 enables component development of a new detection capability for explosive hazards, improvised explosive devices (IED), and components in support of route clearance operations. These capabilities will enhance the effectiveness of the Route Clearance Platoon within the Engineer Company, the Brigade Combat Team as well as other related Army missions. Project EK7 Area Denial Capability Development will evaluate integrated technologies and prototype systems in a realistic operating environment to expedite technology transition for Terrain Shaping Obstacles. The obstacles will deny the enemy terrain and freedom of action while allowing friendly forces to maneuver freely within the same battle space. Area Denial Capability Development provides controlled scalable effects against mounted enemy forces that disrupt, turn, fix, delay or block their ability to maneuver. Area Denial Capability Development enables the Combatant Commander to shape the battle space of an area without exposing friendly forces to enemy engagement, and to actively detect and engage the enemy at all operational ranges. Area Denial Capability Development will utilize an open system, modular architecture to facilitate future development, maintenance, repair, and product improvements.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2017 Project 606 reprogramming removed funding in the amount of $3.612 million. FY 2017 Project EK7 reprogramed funds in the amount of $0.668 million to Project ER2. FY 2017 Project EK7 budget delta in the amount of -$2.597 million is attributable to SBIR/STTR reductions; FFRDC reduction in the amount of $0.033 million. The FY 2019 Project EK7 funding request was reduced by $31.410 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The FY 2019 Project 606 funding was reduced by $0.181 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. .
