Combat Vehicle Prototyping

Abstract

Armored System Modernization Advanced Development will continue the maturation of emerging ground combat vehicle capabilities to provide a bridge from S&T investment to application on a vehicle platform, informing requirements through User Evaluations, identification of capability gaps and reduction of integration risks. Maturing emerging technologies like those in Project Convergence will enable ground combat platforms to meet the Army's strategy of fielding key Modernization efforts. 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, lethality and other soldier defined system requirements. In addition, this funding will provide program management, expertise and a business process for the maturation and transition of emerging Science and Technology systems, system integration labs, technology demonstration efforts risk reduction, maturation, testing and assessment, and develop and integrate systems for Ground Combat Systems (GCS) platforms. The total cost of the OMFV Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $1,348 million RDT&E from FY21 to FY24. The OMFV is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The total cost of the RCV(L) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $508 million RDT&E from FY22 to FY27. The RCV(L) is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
