Combat Engineer Eq Ed

Abstract

This project supports the engineering, manufacturing, and development of combat engineer equipment used in support of horizontal and vertical engineer construction missions, and to develop a variety of enabling systems that will support and improve mobility for Engineers in the Brigade Combat Teams (BCT), Combat Support Brigade (CSB), and Multi-Roll Bridge Company (MRBC) forces. This project also supports the development of enabling systems to meet critical capabilities of joint interdependence through Air and Ground Line of Communication and Rapid Tactical Earthmoving repair and construction which increase the operational reach of modular forces. Systems that support BCT and CSB forces include: High Mobility Engineer Excavators, Scrapers, Scoop Loaders, Skid Steer Loaders, Dozers, Cranes, Graders and Engineer Rapid Airfield Construction Capability (ERACC). Systems that support the MRBC included the Hydraulic Excavators (HYEX) and All Terrain Crane. This project also supports the effort for Construction Equipment Virtual Trainers (CEVTs) for the first article of each variant. The CEVTs are commercial off the shelf virtual training devices with software modifications for military unique tasks. These simulators enable the United States Army Engineer School with the capability to more effectively train Engineer Military Occupational Skill (MOS), while reducing maintenance of actual equipment and fuel costs during traditional training. These simulators provide the Engineer Warfighter with a multitude of training scenarios and continuous hands on training on a variety of construction equipment and in various simulated conditions. Use of CEVT increases skills and competency in the operation of equipment.The funding will be to perform integration, software development, contractor testing, ICW, CDRLs as well as purchase NRE's.
