Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET)
Abstract
Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) will help to reduce Soldier loads by transporting mission specific equipment, resupply equipment, and supplies required for extended operations. The S-MET 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 S-MET will reduce Soldier load, increase squad mobility during combat operations and dismounted maneuvers. S-MET 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 2021 RDTE funding in the amount of $5.008 million supports the development, integration, test and purchase of Technical Insertions and Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) to increase mission capabilities to meet objective requirements in the Abbreviated Capability Development Document (A-CDD). FY 2021 RDTE funding supports remaining testing at Army Test Engineering Center (ATEC) for the Program of Record. Program support to include salaries, travel and miscellaneous expense for the S-MET program will also be funded.
