BRADLEY BASE SUSTAIN
Abstract
The Army has completed a comprehensive Combat Vehicle modernization strategy, which includes the Bradley Vehicle. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle System (BFVS) improvements will provide the Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) with an improved capability to effectively fight in current and future environments. The BFVS improvements achieve the Bradley Capability Development Document to maintain combat over match through a combination of enhanced survivability, mobility and situational awareness subsystems. Improved survivability will leverage and build on lessons learned from Operation Iraqi Freedom to ensure protection against current and future threats in both asymmetric and full spectrum warfare. This provides the Bradley fleet the capability to complement the Abrams Tank and Ground Combat Vehicle in the HBCT. This also provides the HBCT commander with the necessary capabilities to employ the Bradley and Abrams in a combined arms approach as well as appropriate mounted and dismounted schemes of maneuver on current and future battlefields.
