2 Future Combat Systems Advanced Planning Briefing for Industry (APBI) BG John Bartley 15 October

3 Overarching Acquisition Strategy Buy Future Combat Systems; Equip Soldiers; Field Units of Action (UA) Embrace Evolutionary Acquisition while Requirements Mature Contracting via Lead Systems Integrator Demonstrate-Live and Virtual-Force Operational Capabilities of the UA Balance Test and Evaluation with Modeling and Simulation Sustain DARPA/Army Collaborative Relationship for the Future Expand to Joint, Interagency, and Coalition Partners Design for Supportability-Performance-Based Logistics Identify and Manage Risk throughout the Program Accelerate fielding of FCS capability to the Current Force It is about the Networked System of Systems and how it enables Dominant Land Combat for Current and Future Forces

4 Key Tenets of the Program Create Opportunity for Best of Industry to Participate Leverage Government Technology Base to Maximum Extent Associate On-Going Enabling Efforts With LSI-Led Activity Collaborative Environment from Design Through Life Cycle As a Minimum, Commonality at Subsystem/Component Level Design/Plan for Technology Integration and Insertion Maintain and Shape the Industrial Base for the Future Retain Competition throughout Future Force Acquisition Appropriate Government Involvement in Procurement Processes Consistent and Continuous Definition of Requirements Maintain and Shape Government Acquisition Community Program Affordability Balance Performance and Sustainment One Team Operating with Partnership and Teamwork The tenets remain constant: Applying them to the Current and Future Force 10/26/ :23:56 AM 4

5 What Are Future Combat Systems Comprised of a family of systems Advanced, networked air- and ground-based maneuver, maneuver support, and sustainment systems Includes manned and unmanned platforms Networked via a Battle Command architecture Will operate as a system of systems Network existing systems, systems already under development, and new systems to be developed Network will enable: improved ISR, battle command, real time sensor-shooter linkages, and increased synergy between echelons and within small units. capabilities available to UA small units enable the UA to connect to UE, joint capabilities, and national assets

6 FCS Family of Systems FCS Network: key foundational integrating capability 8 Manned Ground Vehicle variants 4 Unmanned Air Vehicle classes (from small unit to brigade level) 3 categories of Unmanned Ground Vehicles: Armed Robotic Vehicles (Assault, RSTA, Light variants) MULEs (cargo & countermine variants) Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (manpackable) Unattended Ground Sensors Unattended Munitions Non-Line of Sight Launch System (missiles in a box) Intelligent Munitions System Each of these systems is designed within a System of Systems Common Operating Environment (common integrating software)

7 Key Objectives Preserve the Systems of Systems focus, and Field all (to include currently deferred systems) FCS Systems plus the network, at threshold capability by 2014 Field Future Force capabilities to Current Force units in discrete spirals starting in FY08, and provide networked capability to UAs ( FCS-equipped UA) by 2014 Prioritize the development and demonstration of the network and SOSCOE, unattended munitions, sensors, and unmanned air and ground vehicles Embrace evolutionary acquisition through Spiral Development employing a design, build, experiment, and test approach in concert with the user, vice the current concurrent developmental construct. Increase Schedule (original scope intact, plus additional scope for experimentation/spiral out), to address internal and external assessment recommendations and provide Army with near-term funds required for current operations Deliberately identify and assess Spiral out candidate technologies/capabilities for integration into Current Force Units of Action. Incorporate a deliberate and robust design, build, experiment, and test approach to Build Knowledge, adequately inform Decision Points, facilitate assessment of spin-offs, provide feedback to software development, integration & verification, user activities and user tests Invest in Technology Maturity and reliability enhancement activities to reduce cost and schedule risk Meet congressional language for NLOS-C with an integrated approach to all MGV System development and production
