Combat Vehicle Prototyping
Abstract
Armored System Modernization provides focused investment for the technology development of combat vehicles for future battlefields. The purpose of this Program Element's (PE) funding is to integrate the next generation of technology enabled capabilities developed in the Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio and Industry to demonstrate new capabilities to meet emerging military needs, provide hardware for Soldier operational experiment/feedback, and determine integration potential across the current Army portfolio of ground vehicles. The primary efforts include but not limited to, maturing and experimenting with Manned Un-Manned Teaming, in conjunction with the Robotic Combat Vehicle, maturing, integrating and experimenting with a variety of technologies for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), and other legacy combat vehicles/platforms within the Maneuver portfolio. Armored System Modernization allows for aggressive innovation that could provide a bridge from S&T investment to vehicle integration and operational use. It can inform requirements through User Evaluations, mitigate capability gaps and reduce integration risks. The strategy will be to focus on delivering incremental experimental prototypes to the warfighter to demonstrate Manned Un-Manned Teaming (MUM-T), to integrate technologies to maintain overmatch while demonstrating crew task reductions through crew augmentation enabled by optimized Warfighter Machine Interface (WMI) and sensor fusion. The funding will support virtual and physical concept development, trade studies, technical and operational analyses to assess future concepts and designs. This would also include the support for survivability and lethality requirements/qualifications. In addition, this funding will support program management, system integration labs, technology maturation, integration risk reduction, qualification of key lethality/weapon system and sensor technologies to support current and future increments of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), and other legacy combat vehicles/platforms within the Maneuver portfolio.
