Landmine Warfare and Barrier - Adv Dev
Abstract
Project BU5 - XM343 Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) supports the United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) #18-22702 as well as revisions to the Multiple Delivery Mine System (Volcano) Joint Service Operational Requirement (JSOR) # 0683. This capability will allow for a formation of pre-emplaced directed obstacles that can be initiated remotely via fielded wired or wireless initiation systems. XM343 SAVO can be initiated via one of three fielded systems; the M7 Spider Networked Munition System, the MK152/M156 Remote Activation Munition Systems (RAMS), or the CD450-4J Blasting Machine. SAVO can operate independently but can be used in conjunction with the Top Attack systems such as the XM204 Interim Top Attack system to create a complex obstacle. The primary item is the newly developed SAVO base plate which is placed on the ground and has four ports to connect fielded Volcano mine canisters. The base plate is packaged with ancillary components to aid in emplacement such as initiation wire, stabilizing ground stakes, sand bags, and canister carrying straps. If the emplaced obstacle is not initiated, SAVO can be recovered for future re-deployment. This item is US anti-personnel landmine policy compliant and supports the U.S. Army modernization priorities in support of Multi Domain Operations (MDO). SAVO Trainer base plates will reflect the form, fit, function, and weight of the tactical XM343 SAVO base plate. Trainer base plates interface with the fielded Volcano training canisters and are reusable. Upon receipt of a launch signal from a fielded initiation system, the training base plates produce sight and sound effects to effectively represent the SAVO obstacle's mine launch and armed status functionality. Projects CE5 - The current mounted breaching system, the M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC), is a rocket-projected explosive line charge that was initially fielded over 50 years ago and is becoming increasingly less effective against modernized threat obstacles which does not support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). This effort will focus on the development of the Next Generation Breaching Technology - Explosive Breacher system, an MDO-capable modular mission payload which will provide greater effectiveness against current and emerging threat obstacles and enhanced operational reliability, supportability, mobility and survivability beyond the current state. The target platforms for Explosive Breacher are the Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV), as well as the Remote Combat Vehicle (RCV). Explosive Breacher has been endorsed by the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Cross Functional Team (CFT) to fulfill the RCV breaching requirements. The modularity also allows for integration with other current and future platforms. The FY 2024 request supports continued Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR), as well as a system-level concept demonstration / soldier touchpoint and pre-milestone B activities to support an FY25 MS-B. Project EK7 - Project EK7 Area Denial Capability Development provides for the advanced capability development of Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) systems and develops modernized, non-persistent U.S. Anti-personnel landmine policy compliant munition fields. During joint, multi-domain, high intensity conflict CTSO systems disrupt, fix, turn and block enemy freedom of maneuver while enhancing friendly freedom of maneuver within the same battle space. CTSO systems enable maneuver commanders to directly influence where battlefield engagements occur. CTSO systems will replace a portion of the Family of Scatterable Mines (FASCAM) systems which are beyond their designed life. The project will evaluate integrated technologies and develop prototype systems in a realistic operating environment for the next generation of CTSO systems to achieve doctrinally required obstacle effects during combat operations. CTSO systems will use an open system and modular architecture to facilitate future development, maintenance, repair, and product improvements. XM204 Interim Top Attack program, the first CTSO capability insertion, has entered into production and will achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) by FY 2025 to meet United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) #18-22702. XM204 can operate independently but can be used in conjunction with the Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) system to create a complex obstacle. The Army is incrementally developing an enduring solution to fill the close directed obstacle capability gap. The three increments are the Increment 1 (Top Attack), Increment 2 (Bottom Attack) and Increment 3 (Full Networked Capability) that comply with DoD Landmine Policy. Increments 1 and 2 provide the commander greater speed and flexibility to transition between offensive and defensive operations. Increment 3 Full Network Capability (FNC) will integrate the Top and Bottom Attack programs into Mission Command. The enduring CTSO capability development supports the approved Common Anti-Vehicular Munition (CAVM)-based Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) Abbreviated-Capability Development Document (A-CDD) and Army Futures Command (AFC) Terrain Shaping Strategy for Land Domain and Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). CAVM will be used for future mid and deep ranges in accordance with the AFC Terrain Shaping Strategy for Land Domain and MDO. CTSO systems are a networked munition capability suite composed of top and bottom attack munitions which can be employed independently or together to create a controlled, scalable complex obstacle. The total cost of the CTSO Inc. 1 Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $101 million RDT&E from FY23 to FY24. The CTSO Inc. 1 MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The programs changed in the amount of +$6.277M is caused by a decrease to Area Denial Capability Development in the amount of -$0.854M and an increase to Breaching Capability Development-Mounted in the amount of +$7.131M. The addition of +$7.131M on Breaching Capability Development - Mounted, is required for continued Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction efforts for the Explosive Breaching capability.
