Bradley Improve Prog
Abstract
The Bradley Family of Vehicles is at or exceeds Space, Weight, and Power-Cooling (SWAP-C) limitations. To restore lost platform capability and to host other Army existing programs of record, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle program shall execute a series of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). ECP 1 improves vehicle's track and suspension while the Bradley A4 ECP improves the power train and electrical system to enable the A3 fleet to host inbound technologies from Army program of records, including continued SINCGARS integration and Handheld Manpack Small (HMS) Radios and Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P). The Bradley A4 development effort led to a production decision in FY 2017. The Bradley M2A4/M7A4 Vehicle is the combination of the M2A3/M7A3 Base Vehicle with ECP 1 and ECP 2 components installed and integrated. Additionally, a follow on Engineering Change Proposal to the Bradley A4 ECP, Bradley A5 ECP (Lethality) integrates Third Generation Forward Looking Infrared (3GEN FLIR) to replace the current FLIR for increased lethality through improved target acquisition capability along with other technology upgrades and insertions (i.e. laser pointing, color camera, laser range finder, etc). Product Manager Bradley will characterize a Non Developmental Item (NDI) to develop force protection and survivability improvements to counter evolving threats to include, but not limited to Active Protection System. A separate integration effort began in FY 2018 for an underbelly armor kit for improved survivability against blast threats.
