M1A2 Adjunct Analysis (POSNOV Volume)

Abstract

The TRADOC Analysis Command (TRAC) completed the M1A2 COEA in March 1989. This report supplements the M1A2 COEA. The Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) authorized full scale development and testing of the preferred M1A2 tank configuration. The DAB stated that additional analytic justification is required to include the Position Navigation unit, the CO2 Laser Rangefinder and the Survivability Enhancements Packages 1 and 2 in the Milestone III production decision. The analysis presented in this report is limited to the Position Navigation (POSNAV) capabilities, its impact on force effectiveness, operational suitability, and training effectiveness, and its cost effectiveness to the force.
