Family Of Hvy Tac Veh
Abstract
The Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS) is comprised of the M1070A1 Tractor and M1000 Trailer and is used to transport, recover, and evacuate a combat loaded M1 Series main battle tank, an M88, or similar heavy loads. The EHET is a new start program to resolve the need to transport the increased weight of the Abrams System Enhancement Package (SEP) V2 and SEP V3 with Force Protection kits installed as well as alleviating highway transportability limitations. This Program Element (PE) also supports Active Safety technologies for the Family of Heavy vehicles to reduce TWV accidents by 26-59% and result in decreased load on the operator while simultaneously increasing the logistics throughput and reducing maintenance and sustainment cost. Furthermore, Active Safety technologies provide the foundation for future autonomous capability insertion. FY17 funding will be used to begin program documentation and pre-Materiel Development Decision (MDD) efforts, as well as, perform requirements and trade analysis to feed into the Technology Development (TD) phase.
