Fast, Adaptable, Next Generation Ground Combat Vehicle (FANG)

Abstract

The goals of the Fast, Adaptable, Next-Generation Ground Combat Vehicle (FANG) program were to employ a novel, model-based design and verification capability, a highly-adaptable foundry-style manufacturing capability, and collaborative design methods to demonstrate up to 5X compression in the timeline necessary to build an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The program sought to create an open-source development infrastructure for the aggregation of designer inputs applicable to complex electromechanical systems as well as software, and to exercise this infrastructure with a series of design events, leading to the building of designs in a foundry-style, rapidly configurable manufacturing facility.
