Standoff Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) Adv Tech
Abstract
This is a new start project starting in FY 2020. Project BU5 Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) provides an interim Anti-Vehicle (AV) capability to address the Army's directed close tactical obstacle capability gap. FY 2020 funding resources the initiation of the SAVO program. SAVO supports a U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) as well as a revision to the Multiple Delivery Mine System (Volcano) Joint Service Operational Requirement (JSOR). This capability will allow for the formation of pre-emplaced directed obstacles that can be initiated remotely via fielded wired or wireless initiation systems. If the emplaced obstacle is not initiated, SAVO can be recovered for future re-deployment. SAVO consists of a newly developed base from which the existing stock of National Landmine Policy compliant munitions (M87A1 Volcano canisters) can be launched. SAVO can be initiated through an interface with three fielded systems; the M7 Spider Networked Munition System, the MK152/M156 Remote Activation Munition Systems (RAMS), or the CD450-4J Blasting Machine.
