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. In addition to other efforts, this funding line includes $67.1 million to support the development of control stations that are necessary for the Army Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program (CF4/CF5). The projected total cost of the RCV MTA Rapid Prototyping program is $497.8 million (then-year dollars) RDT&E from FY 2022 to FY 2027, which includes the aforementioned $67.1 million. The remainder of the RCV MTA Rapid Prototyping program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program with other funding lines (CF4/CF5)
