ADVANCED TANK ARMAMENT SYSTEM (ATAS)

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports the development of the Stryker Family of vehicles in three separate projects: The original Project Code (C03) supports the use of the common platform/common chassis design reducing requirements for repair parts and logistics support in the area of operations. Funding in this project will continue to address Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), survivability, Operational Needs Statements (ONS) issues, and integrating Targeting Under Armor (TUA) for the Stryker FSV. The Stryker Modernization Project (C51) addresses current and evolving survivability concerns and results in retaining interoperability with other formations and the ability to integrate spin-outs and technologies. The first increment of the Stryker Modernization program will regain the operational envelope lost by the addition of survivability kits by eliminating size, power, and weight challenges caused by the kits. This increment consist of improved engine/transmission suspension, Height Management System (HMS), Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), brakes, driveline, Hull structure, seats and environmental. Follow on increments will provide increased capability and address emerging requirements as well as provide for the mitigation of MGS long-term deficiencies. These follow on efforts consist of 360 degree situational awareness, shot detection, improved Remote Weapon Station (RWS), embedded training, and data/video network. Stryker Double V Hull (DVH) Project (VT2) was established in FY 10. The Double V Hull design is in response to a G-3 directed requirement for survivability enhancements on Stryker vehicles used in Operation Enduring Freedom to provide a total integrated solution of increased protection and survivability against Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). DVH will be fielded as Theater Provided Equipment (TPE) and support deployment of SBCTs to Afghanistan. FY 10 requirements were funded with $2.485 FY 09 RDT&E and $9.515 FY 10 RDT&E Below Threshold Reprogramming (BTR) actions from PM HBCT-Bradley and executed in Project VT2. A $102.000 Above Threshold Reprogramming (ATR) action utilizing FY09 SBCT WTCV funding was approved and executed in Project VT2 FY 09 RDT&E.
