FCS Manned Grd Vehicles & Common Grd Vehicle

Abstract

The Future Combat Systems (FCS) Manned Ground Vehicles (MGV) Core Program of Record was terminated in July 2009. FY09 effort prior to termination included completion of design activities leading up to and including MGV SoS PDRs. Associated activities with building Automotive Test Rigs and firing platforms to demonstrate and conduct initial proof of principle on common engine and transmission components long with gun and auto-loading principles. Stop Work contractual direction was issued on June 24th 2009 and was followed by the termination letter on July 17, 2009. The termination letter directed Boeing and its One Team Partners to stop work on all MGV activities except for those items related to the Active Protection System (APS), portions of the Hit Avoidance Systems (HAS), and Non-Line of Sight-Cannon (NLOS-C). The NLOS-C activity was terminated on xxx based on ADM YYY. The funding for FY10 will cover other and special termination cost, the cost for dispositioning all program materials, to include hardware and software, and the cost of completing the development of the APS to achieve TRL 7 in case one or multiple GCV elect to use this technology. For FY09 and prior, this program element supported the development of Manned Ground Vehicles (MGVs) (exclusive of the NLOS-C specific mission equipment). The following common MGV subsystem developments are also included, (NLOS-C common subsystems): armor, suspension, structures, defensive armament system, signature management, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, Vetronics, power and energy (includes hybrid electric drive), auxiliary systems, and hit avoidance system. Also included in this project is mission specific equipment for the following platforms: Infantry Combat Vehicle (ICV), Mounted Combat System (MCS), Non-Line of Sight Mortar (NLOS-M), Command and Control Vehicle (C2V), Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle (RSV), Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV), and the Medical Vehicle (MV). The APS effort continued into the 4rd Qtr FY10, at which time the decision was made not to exercise the option to continue the APS efforts through the prime contractor. With the above-mentioned termination, the Government has negotiated reduced termination costs saving $180 million of FY 09 funding. FY11 funding represented in this document does not reflect the restructure to the program as a result of the recently signed Acquisition Decision Memorandum
