  1. FCS Manned Ground Vehicles Raj Rajagopal Vice President Advanced Programs & Technology UNITED DEFENSE – GROUND SYSTEMS Robert Sorge Director Future Combat Systems GENERAL DYNAMICS LAND SYSTEMS Presented at the NDIA 3rd Annual Intelligent Vehicle Systems Symposium Traverse City, MI June 10, 2003

  2. Agenda • Family of Systems - Variant Design Concepts • Non-Line of Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) • Mounted Combat System (MCS) • Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) • Non-Line of Sight Mortar (NLOS-M) • Command and Control Vehicle (C2V) • Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle (R&SV) • Medical Vehicle (MV) • Common Platform Subsystems/Components • Hybrid Hull Structure and Armor • Common Core Vetronics • Hybrid Electric Propulsion • Tracked Suspension • NBC/ECS • Crew Stations

  3. NLOS-C Alternatives Considered 155mm Tracked 105mm Tracked 155mm Wheeled 105mm Wheeled

  4. MCS Alternatives Considered Gun Assembly Mount Assembly In-Hub Drive Wheeled Concept Recoil Brake (2) Breech Ring & Block Recuperator (2) • ARDEC 120mm XM36 Sprocket Drive Tracked Concept

  5. ICV Alternatives Considered Active Protection System Smoke dischargers 7.62mm Reload Access 7.62mm Coax 30 mm reload access Mk 44 Cannon Remote sight Common Lethality Suite In-Hub Drive Wheeled Concept In-Hull Drive Wheeled Concept Sprocket Drive Tracked Concept

  6. NLOS-M Alternatives Considered Multiple options considered, including… Single-Tube, Manual Zone/Fuze/Resupply, Semi-Auto Gun Loading Dual-Tube, Auto Zone/Fuze/Resupply/Gun Loading

  7. C2V Alternatives Considered In-Hub Wheeled Concept Crew and Passenger Arrangements Sprocket Drive Tracked Concept OFW Accommodations

  8. R&SV Alternatives Considered Crew and Passenger Arrangements In-Hub Wheeled Concept Common Tracked Platform Sprocket Drive Tracked Concept

  9. Leading MV Concepts MV-Evacuation MV-Treatment

  10. MGV Common Platform Hull Structure/Armor MISSION MODULE(Includes common recipes and interfaces) COMMON UPPER FRONT HULL Metallic Construction with Silicon Carbide Ceramic Armor COMMON LOWER HULL Metallic Construction with SiC Ceramic Armor with Belly Plate for Mine Protection COMMONADD-ON ARMOR (not shown): Auto-cannon and AT Mine Kit

  11. Core Vetronics Components Power Distribution (Power Flex Implementation) Grid Switch Extender Flex Power Bus Flex Power Bus Branch Load Controllers Grid Switch

  12. Propulsion Power Architecture

  13. MGV Common Hybrid Electric Propulsion System 23 kW-hr / 150 kW Batteries with crew-removable sub-modules 400 kW Engine with Generator Drive motor, reduction gearing and mechanical backup brakes/ steering integrated into final drive assembly

  14. Lightweight Suspension Concept Band Track Composite Drive Sprocket Modular Suspension Unit Remote Track Tensioner • Adjustable attitude / height control • Active damping • Can accommodate different technologies • Externally mounted Squeeze Cast Roadwheel Composite Idler

  15. MGV Common NBC/ECS P/TSA System or advanced carbon filters with re-circulation to reduce power, weight and space claim NBC/ECS airflow / heat exchanger synergy with electric drive cooling system

  16. MGV Common Crew Stations Side-by–side Crew Stations allow for sharing of displays and controls Potential Commonality with Other Crew Stations
