Armored System Modernization - Adv Dev

Abstract

This funding line is directly aligned to the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Army Modernization Priority. Armored System Modernization Advanced Development provides maturation of emerging Science and Technology (S&T) and industry technologies for potential integration onto ground combat vehicles. The purpose of this Program Element's (PE) funding is to demonstrate new capabilities to meet current and future military needs and to determine integration potential across the Army portfolio of ground combat vehicles by testing and evaluating a variety of technologies. In addition to other efforts, this funding line includes $67.1 million to support the development of control stations that are necessary for the Army Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program (CF4/CF5). The projected total cost of the RCV MTA Rapid Prototyping program is $497.8 million (then-year dollars) RDT&E from FY 2022 to FY 2027, which includes the aforementioned $67.1 million. The remainder of the RCV MTA Rapid Prototyping program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program with other funding lines (CF4/CF5)
