Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE)

1. Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE) Capability Development & Integration Directorate (CDID) Briefing to NDIA 14 March 11

2. The Army’s Integrated Acquisition Process Articulating the needs of the Warfighter by producing authoritative requirements to the S&T and Acquisition Communities Basic principles observed and reported Technology concept and/or application formulated Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof of concept Warfighting Capability

3. Warfighter Outcomes • Stand alone statements that articulate capabilities needed for the Army Warfighter by FY 2024 and include: • Clearly articulated description of capability. • Rationale explaining reason for the capability. • Metrics to describe achievement of the capability.

4. Big 5 Warfighter Outcomes That Guide Army S&T Investment • Beyond-line-of-sight • Optimized for mobile operations • Increase access to the individual Soldier Mission Command Network • Detect, identify and neutralize CBRNE obstacles and WMD • Provide for safe standoff distance • Maintain momentum while protecting Soldiers and platforms Counter-IED and Mines • Enhanced agility to operate worldwide, reducing weight and volume • Sufficient pulsed power enabling advanced lethality options • Increased continuous power and fuel economy • Provide dismounted Soldiers twice available power at half the tactical wgt Power and Energy • Enhance & restore cognitive and physical performance • Soldiers incorporated into highly trained and competent small units • Access on potential vs. high school performance • Mitigate the increase in physiological and psychological stress • Improving mental, moral and physical capacity and performance Human Dimension • Live, virtual, constructive and mixed venues • Impart more skills, faster, at lower cost, with greater retention • Non-traditional home station training techniques • Train prior to employment • Enhance and account for individual proficiencies and learning rates Training

5. MSCoE Related Warfighter Outcomes • Standoff Detection of Explosive Pre-Cursors • Terrain Data Generation • Geospatial Information & Services (GI&S) • Computer-aided Analysis and Reasoning • Standoff detection, diagnosis, render safe and neutralization of explosive (IEDs, UXOs, mines) and CBRN hazards • Rapid construction and repair of combat routes and trails • Rapidly Cross Wet and Dry Gaps • Counter IED and Mine Combined Warfighter Outcome • Standoff detection, diagnosis, render safe and neutralization of explosive (IEDs, UXOs, mines) and CBRN hazards • Active/Passive Protection • Protection • Stationary Hemispherical Area Protection • Improved Active Protection Systems

6. MSCoE - Industry and Academia Relationships Articulating the needs of the Warfighter by producing authoritative requirements to the S&T and Acquisition Communities • Mature “Gateways” to Leverage Industry & Academia • Use of surrogates (government partners) • Cooperative Technology Alliances (CTAs) • SBIR, STTR, BAA • RDEC Partnerships -- Industry & Universities • New Ideas to Leverage Industry & Academia • Direct contact – “difficult to easy” • Building Partnership – JIIM-IA Ofc • Leonard Wood Institute (LWI)

7. Leonard Wood Institute – LWI Like a watch - Located in the same case as the Acquisition Process, but working on a different layer Industry MSCoE Warfighter Outcomes Academia Works directly with Warfighters’ Representative A leg in both world – hence the dual color ring Returns all knowledge discovered directly to MSCoE and Army Corporate Body By it nature - looks for potential solutions in different locations than the Army
