Book Synopsis Selected Foreign Counterparts of U.S. Army Ground Combat Systems by : Andrew Feickert

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army's current fleet of main battle tanks (MBTs), tracked infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), tracked self-propelled (SP) artillery, and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), which constitutes the nucleus of the Army's armored ground forces, were developed in the 1970s and fielded in the 1980s to counter the Soviet Union's and Warsaw Pact's numerically superior ground forces. The combat performance of these vehicles against Iraqi forces during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 reaffirmed for many the role these systems would play in future Army ground operations. U.S. Army leadership notes for the first time since World War I, that the Army does not have a new ground combat vehicle under development and "at current funding levels, the Bradley and Abrams will remain in the inventory for 50 to 70 more years." Regarding armored vehicle development, the Army suggests "our enemies, and even our friends and allies, have not remained static and, in fact, even our allies are modernizing to such an extent that they have outpaced us in some areas." This comment raises the possibility that in the not-too-distant future, foreign armored vehicle design and capabilities could surpass existing U.S. systems. Observations from current conflicts as well beliefs as to what future conflicts might look like help determine what types of improvements should be made to existing combat vehicles in terms of lethality, survivability, mobility, and maintainability. They may also lead to a conclusion that an entirely new combat vehicle will be required to address current and potential future threats. Comparison of selected U.S. and foreign ground combat systems and observations from current conflicts as well beliefs as to what future conflicts might look like raise implications for U.S. ground combat system modernization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future Combat Systems (FCS) was conceived in 1999 as a System of Systems whose separate parts would operate as a whole with an advanced network and move quickly with a minimal logistics tail to hostile environments. Its design focused on the high intensity conflict also known as Major Combat Operations. The Manned Ground Vehicle portion of the program was terminated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense in a June 2009 Acquisition Defense Memorandum because it was not the proper vehicle for the current environment. Following that decision, the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) developed a new Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) requirement and wrote a new Capstone Concept. The vehicle envisioned is not part of a family of systems and it does not need to move quickly to hostile environments. The Army chose to focus the initial increment of the GCV on an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). This decision was driven by both the inability to upgrade current Army infantry platforms and the density of IFVs across the 24 heavy brigades programmed by the Army. The Army is now pursuing a platform replacement and upgrade strategy, rendering Shinseki's vision unachievable for the foreseeable future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's environment of rapidly evolving conflicts, the Army's goal is to have units that have the combat power of heavy units but that can be transported anywhere in the world in a matter of days. To address concerns about the armored vehicle fleet's aging and the difficulties involved in transporting it as well as to equip the Army more suitably to conduct operations overseas on short notice using forces based in the United States the service created the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program in 2000. A major modernization effort, the program is designed in part to develop and purchase vehicles to replace those now in the heavy forces; the new vehicles would be much lighter, thereby easing the deployment of units equipped with them. In the analysis presented in this report, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) examined the current status of the Army's fleet of armored vehicles and assessed the speed of deployment of the service's heavy forces. It also evaluated the FCS program, considering the program's costs as well as its advantages and disadvantages and comparing it with several alternative plans for modernizing the Army's heavy forces.

Book Synopsis Technology Development for Army Unmanned Ground Vehicles by : National Research Council
Download or read book Technology Development for Army Unmanned Ground Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) are expected to play a key role in the Army's Objective Force structure. These UGVs would be used for weapons platforms, logistics carriers, and reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition among other things. To examine aspects of the Army's UGV program, assess technology readiness, and identify key issues in implementing UGV systems, among other questions, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study of UGV technologies. This report discusses UGV operational requirements, current development efforts, and technology integration and roadmaps to the future. Key recommendations are presented addressing technical content, time lines, and milestones for the UGV efforts.

Book excerpt: On 25 January 2014, the Army Chief of Staff announced the cancelation of the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV). The GCV's cancelation marked the US Army's most recent failure to design and field a new ground combat vehicle since fielding the Big Five weapon systems in the early 1980's. The Army has long expressed the need to replace the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) with a new ground combat vehicle. The Bradley, one of the original Big Five, was designed to fight a Cold War threat. Requirements have changed since then but the Army continues to use the BFV as its primary infantry-fighting vehicle. Today, the Army believes that the BFV does not have the space, weight, or power needed on the modern battlefield. The persistent need for a replacement vehicle and the consistent record of failure to design a replacement strongly suggests there is a serious problem in the Army ground combat system development process. Since the Big Five systems will not last forever, it is important to identify why Army efforts to modernize have failed. However, given the variety of systems and related acquisition and development processes, it is not possible to provide a general explanation. Instead, the research focused on development of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and its proposed successors, the Future Combat Systems and the Ground Combat Vehicle. These three weapon programs comprise the Army's concentrated efforts to create a new infantry-fighting vehicle and because of this, these three weapons programs provide the most relevant examples of Army ground modernization efforts. By comparing the development dimensions of the FCS and GCV to the standard created by the Bradley, clear differences emerged. First, the strategic context of the FCS and GCV never reached a level of stability that supported the BFV. Second, the manner in which specifications changed for each weapon system led to the conclusion that the BFV, FCS, and GCV experienced requirement creep. Deeper analysis proved this notion wrong. The Bradley was unique since it based its requirements on lofty, yet tangible goals. In contrast, the FCS and GCV created specifications depending on immature and future technology that did not exist at the time of conception and were not achieved during development. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that if the Army intends to replace the Bradley with a new infantry-fighting vehicle, then it must develop more modest program goals at the start of system design and limit the list of new technologies to avoid criticisms of either design or cost.
