Combat Track Vehicles Mod

Abstract

The Combat Track Vehicles Mod effort provides armor-protected mobile firepower to include improvements in all areas of the M1A1 main battle tank, Improved Recovery Vehicle (IRV), and Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB). Efforts under the Mod line pertaining to the M1A1 include improvements such as: lethality systems, to increase armament accuracy and provide for off-board targeting improvements; survivability systems (including active and passive); communications and command and control; and mobility, increasing the crew's situational awareness through sensor enhancements and intra-vehicular data sharing; and environmental testing of components. The IRV (also known as the M88A2) provides heavy armor-protected recovery capability to the MAGTF. The Mod line funds research, development, and testing of improvements in all areas of the IRV. This funding addresses obsolescence and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to improve performance and develop safety related ECPs to correct hazards noted during the day to day operation of the M88A2 IRV.
