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 and demonstrate 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 technologies 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. This Project will be coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology) and transitions to PE 0604852A (Suite of Vehicle Protection Systems - EMD). The cited research 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 Ground Vehicle System Center (GVSC) and Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center
