Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the military continues transformation and focuses on capabilities-based organizations to meet guidance provided in the National Security Strategy and The Quadrennial Defense Review, the Army is in position to redefine operational maneuver. Currently, the Army does not conduct operational maneuver with mechanized forces using inter- or intra-theater lift because of the limitations of the current force. The weight of our heavy forces limits the ability to attack the enemy throughout the operational depth of the battlespace with ground maneuver forces. As the Army transitions to a Future Combat System (FCS) equipped force, the possibilities for operational maneuver by armored forces can grow exponentially. A lighter force possessing the same lethality of the Army's current heavy force can provide numerous options to support operational maneuver. The purpose of this monograph is to prove the Army can redefine operational maneuver with the FCS and support of the Joint Force. As we look forward on the ability of the FCS to redefine operational maneuver there are examples throughout history which display how major changes in warfare where developed through new and innovative applications of the technology available. The primacy of maneuver over firepower was established at the beginning of World War II. In order for the FCS to redefine operational maneuver the Army must be successful in the Joint Fight. Failure to dominate in this area will prevent the setting of the conditions that allow the FCS a tactical system to have operational and strategic success. The author proposes the formation of a new force known as the Air Ground Expeditionary Force (AGEF) which will provide Combatant Commanders with an air and ground capability for operations in their respective area of operations. This force will establish habitual relationships between AEF's and UA's identified as early deploying units.

This force will establish habitual relationships between AEF's and UA's identified as early deploying units. The AEF provides a strike capability but in order to take full advantage of the rapid deployability of the FCS equipped UA inter-theater assets are required. The failure to form this new force does not prevent the redefining of operational maneuver through execution using intra and inter-theater lift to move a FCS equipped Unit of Action although such a force will provide Combatant Commanders a Joint Force capable of both ground and air operations.

Book Synopsis Delivering Future Combat Systems (FCS) While at War by :
Download or read book Delivering Future Combat Systems (FCS) While at War written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In simple terms, Army modernization deals with equipping the Army's Future Modular Force. The Chairman's focus on "correctly" equipping ground forces frames the Army's approach to FCS. While upgrading current equipment to meet Current Force needs, we are also modernizing the Army to deal with the complex and challenging future. A strong team from government and industry, including Soldiers from the 5th Brigade, 1st Armored Division, Army Evaluation Task Force (AETF), at Fort Bliss, TX, are delivering FCS today. The AETF recently completed new equipment training and began evaluating the first set of FCS spin out (SO) capabilities. As MG Charles A. Cartwright, Program Manager (PM) Future Combat Systems (Brigade Combat Team) FCS(BCT), so accurately stated, "The days of Microsoft PowerPoint slides are over." Since entering the System Development and Demonstration phase at Milestone B in May 2003, the FCS program progressed rapidly and evolved in numerous ways. FCS increased from 14 to 18 systems at one point, but returned to 14 systems with the 2008 budget submission. The fielding tempo also changed, especially with the July 2004 addition of SOs for selected technologies across the force beyond the FCS(BCT). We accelerated selected FCS technologies while delaying others for further study and development. However, ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq forced the Army to balance current warfighting needs with modernization by shifting resources from FCS to support the current fight. The demands of war will continue to challenge the Army's ability to maintain the balance. The net result is an FCS program that looks rather different in terms of time and schedule, but remains true to the goal of providing a strategically responsive, Joint interdependent, precision maneuver force that is dominant across the full range of military operations.
Book Synopsis Maneuver Branch by : Robert Valdivia
Download or read book Maneuver Branch written by Robert Valdivia and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three significant realities are serving as the catalyst for change of the future Army. They are the fact that we are at war and will remain at war for an undetermined period of time; the transformation to modular Brigade Combat Teams; and the development and acquisition of the Future Combat System (FCS). The scope of this paper examines the traditional Combat Arms branches of Infantry, Armor, Field Artillery and Air Defense and recommends a consolidated Maneuver branch to better serve the organizations of the transformed army and man the Future Combat Systems that will equip the Brigade Combat Teams Unit of Action (BCTUA) of the future. This maneuver branch will consist of three critical functions of dismounted maneuver, mounted maneuver and fires. The requirements to train and assign officers to man these deploying BCTUAs is immediate and without precedent. The demand to train leaders to be adaptable warriors capable of conducting a full range of Joint military operations is an imperative. The Army must consider transforming the existing stove piped "branch" system along with the organizations and equipment.
Book Synopsis Future Combat Systems by : Michael B. Glenn
Download or read book Future Combat Systems written by Michael B. Glenn and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current Army modernization strategy is at risk due to increasing pressures to cut investments in Future Combat Systems (FCS). The Army faces an age-old dilemma: arriving at the right investment balance between current demands and relevant future forces. Although the Army firmly intends to avoid sacrificing future capabilities in order to fund near-term operations, the strategy to accomplish this balance is failing. Widely criticized as an unsustainable strategy, the FCS program is at the center of the current debate. This SRP explains why FCS, the centerpiece of Army modernization, is placing this strategy at risk. The Army's failure to effectively communicate its strategic goal is a big part of the story. How, then, should the Army improve its communications plan in order to assure full support for FCS? The SRP attempts to answer this question by projecting FCS beyond its performance as an acquisition program and accounting for current sources of resistance to the program. An effective strategic communications plan must counter this resistance in order to effectively support the current plan for Army modernization.

Download or read book Future Combat Systems - New Technologies Foundation for More Lethal Force written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To achieve operational dominance, warfighters need highspeed, interoperable systems that allow quick access and dynamic control of critically needed information. To facilitate the achievement of this objective and to support Army Transformation, the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program is envisioned as an umbrella system linking large numbers of manned and unmanned platforms into a lethal combat Force. FCS will serve as the foundation for developing a faster, lighter, smarter, and more lethal next-generation force. Space platforms play a vital role in the realization of this concept.

Download or read book A Framework for the Analysis of the Future Combat System Conceptual Design Alternatives written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Army is frenetically engaged in an ambitious initiative to transform itself from a Cold War legacy force into a new millennium force, the Objective Force, designed to dominate potential enemies through the first half of the new century. The centerpiece of this transformed Army will be the Future Combat System (FCS). The common expectation of this transformed force is that it will derive its dominance over potential rivals by taking full advantage of a potential Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) anchored in a host of current and near-future technological advances. Our research presents a more mature understanding of what may ultimately comprise the next RMA and offers a model of battlefield information functional design that can guide FCS system design and that of the Objective Force overall.

Doro-on and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides multifaceted components and full practical perspectives of systems engineering and risk management in security and defense operations with a focus on infrastructure and manpower control systems, missile design, space technology, satellites, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and space security. While there are many existing selections of systems engineering and risk management textbooks, there is no existing work that connects systems engineering and risk management concepts to solidify its usability in the entire security and defense actions. With this book Dr. Anna M. Doro-on rectifies the current imbalance. She provides a comprehensive overview of systems engineering and risk management before moving to deeper practical engineering principles integrated with newly developed concepts and examples based on industry and government methodologies. The chapters also cover related points including design principles for defeating and deactivating improvised explosive devices and land mines and security measures against kinds of threats. The book is designed for systems engineers in practice, political risk professionals, managers, policy makers, engineers in other engineering fields, scientists, decision makers in industry and government and to serve as a reference work in systems engineering and risk management courses with focus on security and defense operations.
Book Synopsis Examining the Army's Future Warrior by : Randall Steeb
Download or read book Examining the Army's Future Warrior written by Randall Steeb and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores and assesses technology options for future dismounted soldiers that could improve mission effectiveness and reduce casualties. The authors examine the objective individual combat weapon (OICW, a rifle and precision explosive round combination, now designated the XM-29), improved body armor, better sensors, the use of small unguided vehicles in support of operations, links to indirect fires, and signature-reduction techniques. Using high-resolution constructive simulation to examine these aspects, the authors found that soldier effectiveness and survivability could be moderately improved by individual systems, but significant improvements resulted only from applications of combined systems.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army R & D labs have played a crucial role in the evaluation of emerging systems that equipped the war fighter with superior lethality. The Future Combat System's (FCS) aggressive acquisition strategy of conventional (armor, munitions, propulsion) and non-conventional (unmanned sensors, robotics) technologies place a greater demand on labs for rapid and accurate analysis of potential weapon systems. A combination of validated engineering analysis codes, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) and Enterprise Commercial Off the Shelf Software (COTS) can greatly accelerate the evaluation of candidate systems. Traditional Modeling and Simulation (M & S) activities are not well suited for today's acquisition environment. In particular, they suffer from: premature design commitment, a failure to quickly identify dominant design factors and adapt to changing design requirements. Many of these problems stem from a lack of human engineering concurrency and communication. A partial solution to this problem is to enable virtual collaboration among a lab's modeling and simulation codes. Genetic Algorithms (GA), a subset of EA's, are an ideal catalyst for multidisciplinary concept exploration. GA's mimic the selection process that occurs among biological species in nature, but to various engineering disciplines they provide an excellent focal point in determining a weapon system's optimal configuration based on a set of given mission parameters. The organizational and cultural impact of setting up this type of virtual cooperation is far reaching and cannot be overstated. Concept exploration engines have been around for a number of years; an outstanding example is the Integrated Hypersonic Aeromechanics Tool (IHAT) used at Naval Air Command, China Lake to design hypersonic air breathing vehicles in the Mach 4-8 regime. Likewise, the Aviation and Missile Command has adopted a multidisciplinary approach through its Army Missile Collaborative Design Environment (AMCODE).
Book Synopsis Balancing Technology and Risk in the Future Combat Systems by :
Download or read book Balancing Technology and Risk in the Future Combat Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While all the lessons of Operation Iraqi Freedom will not be known for some time, one already seems clear: large, well-armed ground forces are still needed for many expeditionary wars. Heavy U.S. Army forces, however, still lack the capacity to deploy overseas swiftly enough to wage these wars. The result is a deficiency in the capacity of U.S. military forces to prosecute modern wars in distant areas. This will be especially true for wars in which air power is not a cure-all and major ground combat operations must be launched. Addressing the problem of slow Army deployment rates, the Army Transformation Roadmap 2003 states the goal of transformation is to "identify and build required capabilities now and while developing future force capabilities essential to provide relevant, ready, responsive, and dominant land power to the Future Joint Force." Indeed, one aspect of the Army's transformation efforts is force redesign to develop an active component capable of deploying a responsive, agile expeditionary force in the first fifteen days of an operation.
