Manned Ground Vehicle

Abstract

Fiscal constraints and competing demands during budget uncertainty forced the Army to make hard choices between near term readiness and modernizing current systems to meet near term capability gaps and developing the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV). The Army concluded it was not the right time to develop the GCV and ended the program upon completion of the Technology Development (TD) phase in June 2014. The Army has benefited from investment in the GCV program and will use the insights gained to inform technology maturation efforts in support of a strategy for the Army's Future Fighting Vehicle (FFV) modernization program. Although the GCV program ended at the conclusion of the TD phase, the Army still maintains their requirement to fully modernize their fleet of ground combat vehicles. The FFV program will continue to leverage information and insights gained from the GCV TD phase to allow the Army to make better informed decisions in the future regarding their Combat Vehicle Portfolio. The main goals of the FFV program are to conduct technical, cost, and risk assessments against selected capability trades and future technologies for a FFV system. Funding is not provided for the FFV Program in FY 2018.
