Small Unit Expeditionary Maneuver

Abstract

This Project funds the maturation, validation and demonstration of innovative technologies which provide maneuver capabilities such as precision aerial delivery of cargo and personnel and expeditionary maneuver platforms to enable and enhance mission command and human performance in response to emerging operational environments that require expeditionary logistics for aggregated and disaggregated Soldiers and units. Technologies that allow dismounted units to move to positions of advantage rapidly, and then to operate for hours, days, weeks without resupply while sustaining a high tempo for periods of up to seven days. Efforts funded in this Project support all Military Services, the Special Operations Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency. Demonstrated technologies transition to a variety of partners, including Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems (PdM-FSS), Product Manager Combat Support Equipment (PM CSE), and/or Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)/Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
