Small Unit Expeditionary Maneuver Technology

Abstract

The Small Unit Expeditionary Maneuver Technology Project funds the research and investigation of innovative and emerging technologies which provide maneuver capabilities such as precision aerial delivery of cargo and personnel and force projection platforms enabling mission command in all operating environments. This Projects provides trusted tactical sustainment for dispersed units in highly mobile dismounted Manned-UnManned Teaming (MUM-T) operations and other complex operating environments. Efforts funded in this Project support all Military Services, the Special Operations Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency. Technologies developed within this effort transition to Program Element (PE) 0603001A/Project XW6 for maturation. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology (S&T) Soldier Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the S&T priorities of the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Project XW5 combines the efforts of Project 283 and VT4 in FY19 to create an integrated expeditionary maneuver research focus area.
