Adv Leth and Accuracy Sys for Med Calber (ALAS-MC)

Abstract

This Project matures and integrates next-generation 50mm weapon system technologies transitioned from under the Advanced Lethality and Accuracy System for Medium Caliber (ALAS-MC) advanced technology development effort into a vehicle-agnostic combat turret to inform requirements for the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV). This Project integrates and assesses critical ALAS-MC 50mm technology components for on-the-move engagement of moving personnel and materiel targets, bringing the subsystem to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7. Under Advanced Targeting and Lethality Automated System (ATLAS), this Project matures and integrates advanced Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms to enable aided target detection/recognition capability for NGCV using next generation, multi-spectral electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) targeting sensors. AI/ML algorithms are integrated with real-time intelligent fire control and mission planning interfaces to demonstrate automated turret capabilities, and provide overmatch via reduced target acquisition and engagement timelines. Work in this Project is related to and fully integrated with the efforts funded in PE 0603462A, Project BF5, Advanced Lethality and Accuracy System for Med Cal; and PE 0603462A, Project BG1, Sensors for Autonomous Operations and Survivability Advanced Technology. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
