Ground Systems Active Defense (GSAD) Advanced Tech
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates protection and survivability technologies to increase the survivability of ground vehicles and the protection of the Soldiers who depend on them. The tasks will focus on component maturation and demonstration and transfer products for demonstration as holistic (vehicle level) solutions. The Project will mature technologies to defeat threats throughout the timeline of a threat engagement; from obscuring a target, to actively defeat a threat and through mitigating its effects after engagement. These include the active employment of smoke, physical and electronic active protection, advanced and adaptive armors, advanced and active blast mitigation systems and adaptive interior protection. Work in this Project supports the Army Modernization Priority Next Generation Combat Vehicle. 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 United States (US) Army Futures Command. Work in this project will be coordinated with PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology) and transitions to PE 0604852A (Suite of Vehicle Protection Systems - EMD).
