Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET)
Abstract
FY 2019 RDTE funds Operational Technology finalization, System downselect and Program of Record (PoR) Full Material Release testing. Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) will help to reduce Soldier loads by transporting mission specific equipment, resupply equipment, and supplies required for extended operations. The SMET will be capable of carrying the equipment currently required to support Infantry and Engineer Platoons in the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) for a 72 hour mission without resupply. The SMET will reduce Soldier load, increase squad mobility during combat operations and dismounted maneuvers. SMET will have open architectures, a remote control and support casualty evacuation, power generation/offload and chemical/biological payloads. FY2019 RDTE funding supports the development and purchase of Technical Insertions, Logistics Support Data, and SMET Program of Record (POR) production contract development to include the Statement of Work (SOW) and Request for Project Proposal (RPP). FY2019 RDTE funding also supports Developmental testing at Aberdeen and the completion of the Technology Demonstration. Program management costs to include salaries, travel and miscellaneous expense for the SMET program will also be funded.
