Future Ground Requirements: 2012 and Beyond

Abstract

The current fleet of ground targets is based heavily on Russian built battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers (circa 1970s) with a recent influx of American made technical vehicles. Do we maintain an emphasis on Russian armored targets? Do we need weaponry from other countries? Do we put additional emphasis on current scenarios and introduce additional irregular warfare assets? This study will explore these questions and in coordination with Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), intelligence agencies and Program Managers (PMs) derive a path forward for equipping our troops with relevant ground target threat targets for FY 12 and beyond.
