The first increment of the Precision Strike Missile has been delivered to the Army, a major milestone for the top priority program. While the Army moved quickly to field Trophy active protection systems on Abrams tanks, it has struggled to get similar protection on its combat vehicles. The Army evaluated General Motors’ Hummer EV, a Canoo platform and a Lordstown Motors truck. Meanwhile, the Army is gearing up for a first user assessment for its Stryker-based Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense system in Germany. The Army is focusing its efforts on a robotic combat vehicle that isn't too small and isn't too large, but just right to keep up with heavy forces. “Each of these commanders is going to want to tailor their command post,” said Mark Kitz, the leader of the Army's PEO C3T. "If I have to give three days of training and I can get it down to one hour, that’s another unit I can move to quicker as we field the Army." The cards were previously procured through “external contracts" that complicated acquisition, according to PEO IEW&S. The Army will choose a single robotic vehicle from the four companies selected to build prototypes over the next year. Over the next 18 months, the Army will add in cloud technology and review a feasible, affordable production plan for the device. Load More
