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 2022 RDTE funding in the amount of $3.763 million supports the development, integration, and procurement of Technical Insertions, Engineering Change Proposals, and Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) to increase mission capabilities and address requirements in the Abbreviated Capability Development Document (A-CDD). FY2022 RDTE funding supports procurement of MMPs, integration to the SMET platform, testing, and development of logistics material required to support MMP efforts. Program support to include labor, travel and miscellaneous expenses in support of these RDTE efforts will also be funded.
