Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET)
Abstract
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 reintegration of Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) and technical insertions. FY 2020 RDTE funding supports the development integration and purchase of Technical Insertions and Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) to increase mission capabilities to meet objective requirements in the CDD. FY 2020 RDTE funding supports Developmental testing at Aberdeen and other remaining testing required for the Program of Record to include cyber testing and air drop certification. Program support to include salaries, travel and miscellaneous expense for the SMET program will also be funded.
