Armored Systems Modernization Adv Dev

Abstract

Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) prototyping provides focused investment for development of the combat vehicles in future battlefields. The purpose of this funding is to integrate the next generation of technology enabled capabilities developed in the Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio to demonstrate new capabilities to meet emerging military needs, provide hardware for Soldier operational evaluation/feedback, to determine integration potential across the current Army portfolio of ground vehicles and to develop platform level prototypes Prototyping allows for aggressive innovation (provides a bridge from S&T investment to vehicle integration and operational use), informs requirements through User Evaluations, ensures requirements are met, mitigates capability gaps and reduces integration risks. Additional funding in FY 2019 will support working with Industry (via Other Transaction Agreement (OTAs)) on concept development, trade studies, technology maturation/testing, technical/operational/affordability analyses and prototyping and demonstration of combat vehicles (both manned and autonomous) to assess future concepts and designs that integrate emerging S&T advancements to include integration and fusion of data from different sensors and subsystems within the platform and how it will be displayed to the crewman and/or autonomous vehicle operator on the battlefield to improve crew reaction time and platform fightability. Funding will also support acceleration of the TARDEC NGCV 1.0 Prototype.
