Combat Service Support Systems
Abstract
This project supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of critical soldier support and sustainment systems that provide more endurance and agility to combat operations, enabling success of Army Expeditionary Forces in future multi-domain scenarios. Project includes highly mobile shelter systems (rigid and soft wall), expeditionary base camp subsystems, field service systems, mortuary affairs equipment, field heaters, and other combat service support equipment. These systems will fill identified theater capability gaps, improve safety, improve unit sustainability, improve resource and energy efficiency; address environmental impacts, and increase combat effectiveness. This project supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), Prototyping, and testing of critical tactical support systems that allow mobile Joint Service command and control, as well as medical, force projection, and maintenance platforms. This project develops critical enablers that support a number of strategic initiatives, including the Army Campaign Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, the Army Climate Strategy, and the Army Arctic Strategy. This project ensures Army Expeditionary Forces are capable of rapid deployment while reducing sustainment requirements, related Combat Support/Combat Service Support (CS/CSS) demands in lift, combat zone footprint, and costs for logistical support. Specifically, shelters developed under these efforts will be better insulated and more energy efficient, thus reducing environmental control requirements, energy demand, and fuel usage. Therefore, they will reduce the Army's logistics and carbon footprint and lengthen the resupply interval in contested, support-constrained environments. Additionally, better insulated shelter systems allow for operational viability in extreme environments such as the Arctic.
