Description
Mission — Armored System Modernization - Adv Dev
Armored System Modernization Advanced Development provides maturation of emerging Science and Technology (S&T) and industry technologies for potential integration onto ground combat vehicles. The purpose of this Program Element's (PE) funding is to demonstrate new capabilities to meet current and future military needs and to determine integration potential across the Army portfolio of ground combat vehicles by testing and evaluating a variety of technologies. The Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) Middle Tier Acquisition-Rapid Prototype (MTA-RP) program was funded through RDT&E appropriation via lines 643645EV7, 644107CF4 and 654641CF5. The total investment of the program prior to Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) Executive Order (EXORD) directing to cease development of RCV Hardware was $225M Base-Year 2025 (BY25) dollars. Future development efforts focused on Software Pathway (SWP), as well as autonomous and unmanned system initiatives, will be funded under RDT&E lines 644017FD9 and 655053FB3. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.247 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
Mission — Combat Vehicle Prototyping
Armored System Modernization Advanced Development will continue the maturation of emerging ground combat vehicle capabilities to provide a bridge from S&T investment to application on a vehicle platform, informing requirements through User Evaluations, identification of capability gaps and reduction of integration risks. Maturing emerging technologies like those in Project Convergence Capstone (PCC) will enable ground combat platforms to meet the Army's strategy of fielding key Modernization efforts. The funding will support virtual and physical concept development, trade studies, technical and operational analyses to assess future concepts and designs. This would also include the support for survivability, lethality and other soldier defined system requirements. In addition, this funding will provide program management, expertise and a business process for the maturation and transition of emerging Science and Technology systems, system integration labs, technology demonstration efforts risk reduction, maturation, testing and assessment, and develop and integrate systems for Ground Combat Systems (GCS) platforms. The Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) Middle Tier Acquisition-Rapid Prototype (MTA-RP) program was funded through RDT&E appropriation via lines 643645EV7, 644107CF4 and 654641CF5. The total investment of the program prior to Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) Executive Order (EXORD) directing to cease development of RCV Hardware was $225M Base-Year 2025 (BY25) dollars. Future development efforts focused on Software Pathway (SWP), as well as autonomous and unmanned system initiatives, will be funded under RDT&E lines 644017FD9 and 655053FB3.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (4)
Experimental Prototyping
Experimental prototyping allows for maturation of emerging S&T and industry technologies to inform requirements, identify mitigations for capability gaps and reduce technology integration and program risks for emerging technologies. The funding will support prototyping for Advanced Combat Powertrain, Advanced Combat Vehicle Concepts and Studies, Advanced Lightweight Track, Combat Optimization for Robotic Systems, Autonomy, Integration, and Reliability (CORSAIR) (formerly named Project Origin) soldier assessment efforts and Other Technology Advancements.
Government Engineering & Program Management
This effort will support Program Management Office (PMO) support that will cover the costs of government and direct support contractor labor, travel, training, supplies, equipment and facilities to manage the experimental prototyping projects.
Test & Evaluation
Test and Evaluation (T&E) activities include contractor and government testing of prototype vehicles and technologies as well as user evaluations. Testing will be conducted using United States Army test facilities.
Developmental Engineering
Efforts will include the continued development and maturation of advanced technology concepts for ground combat vehicles and related support equipment.
