  2. Mounted Warfare Evolution Continues…. • 1970’s - “Big Five” – Platform Centric - Cold War - Desert Storm - Operation Iraqi Freedom • 1990’s - New Operational Environment - System of Systems Centric - Family of Systems Capabilities Based Battlefield Dominance

  3. BUILDING THE FUTURE FORCE CURRENTLY ENGAGED THE CHALLENGES • OIF • OEF LARGEST FUNDEMENTAL CHANGE SINCE 1939 EVOLVING FORCE MIX OF NEW AND OLD TECHNOLOGIES SIMUTANEOUSLY • M1 • M2 • STYKER • FCS “RIGHT SOLUTION – NOT JUST A SOLUTION” • DOCTRINE • TRAINING • LEADERS • ORGANIZATION • MATERIEL • PERSONNEL • FACILITIES Capabilities Based Battlefield Dominance

  4. Current Force Will Fight and Overmatch the Enemy through 2032 • Abrams & Bradley key battlefield systems in US land warfare capability – battle proven • Abrams is the most feared combat system on the battlefield • Modernization essential to maintain overmatch & crew survivability until 2032 – will occur with Tech Spiral from FCS. KEYS: • 360 o protection (i.e., APS, armor improvements) • 2nd & 3rd Generation FLIR • System of System Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE) • Upgrade computer processing allowing networking with FCS • TC and Loader Protection if exposed • Recapitalization of AGT1500 (now) // M1A1 (now) // SEP (later) • Next generation ammunition dependant on threat and FCS tech programs

  5. Current Force Will Fight and Overmatch the Enemy through 2032 • Abrams & Bradley key battlefield systems in US land warfare capability – battle proven • Abrams is the most feared combat system on the battlefield • Modernization essential to maintain overmatch & crew survivability until 2032 – will occur with Tech Spiral from FCS. KEYS: • 360 o protection (i.e., APS, armor improvements) • 2nd & 3rd Generation FLIR • System of System Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE) • Upgrade computer processing allowing networking with FCS • TC and Loader Protection if exposed • Recapitalization of AGT1500 (now) // M1A1 (now) // SEP (later) • Next generation ammunition dependant on threat and FCS tech programs

  6. Stryker Fights in Current COE • 8 of 10 variants fielded to 2 SBCTs and Combat Capable • 3-2 IN currently deployed to OIF, 1-25 IN to deploy • 172d SIB (Alaska) fielding now • Six Stryker BCTs being fielded through FY09. • Block modifications (P3I) incorporated throughout fielding. KEYS: • Survivability: APS, Signature Mgmt., Combat ID Sys., Armor upgrades • Lethality: ICV, RV, MGS Far Target Designate/Locate, 2nd & 3rd GEN FLIR • Land Warrior/ Mounted Warrior Systems Integration • System of System Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE) • Upgrade C4I and computer processing to allow networking with FCS

  7. FCS CapabilitiesFull Spectrum Dominance • The Army's future force is revolutionary; capable of deploying worldwide in a matter of hours, leveraging information superiority, and entering areas of operations ready for combat on arrival. • The FCS relies on a total “system of systems” approach to achieve full spectrum dominance. • FCS capabilities will be fuzed into the current & modular force constructs (beginning FY08) through a Spiral integration process. • Keys: • Transportability: C-130 deployable for (Strategic) inter-theater options, and (operational) intra-theater operational maneuver. • Survivability: FCS networked enabled protection for crews and passengers equal to current force platforms (Abrams, Bradley). • Lethality: Networked lethality brings together sensors, fires and effects, internal and external, to create “overmatch”. • Mobility: The FCS FoS will have the standoff capabilities to detect, identify, report, mark, neutralize, and destroy counter-mobility obstacles & devices in stride. • Sustainability: The FCS Family of System’s network enabled Operational Availability (Ao) will meet or exceed the current force.
