Decision Points

Does MUM-T, in its current state increase a unit’s effectiveness? If so, proceed as planned.

Can the Army begin a PoR in FY23 given the current state of technology?

Are amphibious capabilities a reasonable threshold requirement for the PoR?

1) If the Army has yet to do so, can the Army begin a PoR for RCV (L) and RCV (M) after PH IIIB?

2) Does the RCV (H) require a clean sheet design or is a DBW MPF adequate?

Conceptual RCV (L) and RCV (M) Characteristics

Mobility T: Maintain pace w/ organic formation; silent drive; amphibious w/ a kitO: Silent drive X>10 Km; amphibious w/o kits

T: Maintain pace w/ organic formation; silent drive for 5Km @ 10 Kph; amphibious w/ a kitO: Silent drive X>10 Km; amphibious w/o kits

Transportability T: One RCV (L) per CH47 Sling Load; air droppable O: Base chassis transportable by UH60 for 10 NM

T: One RCV (M) per C130H for 1800 NMO: CH47 sling load; air droppable

Lethality T: Defeats troops and trucks, 1 x ATGMO: Multiple ATGMs w/ autonomous reload; loitering munitions

T: Defeats medium armor threats at 2+Km; Two ATGMsO: IWS defeats troops; Four ATGMs w/ modular capability for multiple missile types (AP/ ADA).

Sensor Package

T: TeUAS w/ modular payloads; support AiDTR; 360 SAO: TeUAS (become untethered); sensors better than 3G FLIR; color night vision; marsupial robot

T: TeUAS w/ modular payloads; support AiDTR; 360 SAO: TeUAS (become untethered); sensors better than 3G FLIR; color night vision; marsupial robot

SurvivabilityT: Protected sensors, integrated CBR defense, recover from cyber attacks/EMS (T=O)O: Med ballistic protection for sensors

T: Protect sensors and lethality systems; recover from cyber attacks/EMS (T=O)O: Med ballistic protection w/ modular armor capability

Modularity T: Remove lethality system and transition to any MMP; IOP 3.0 compliant (T=O); VICTORY 1.8 compliant (T=O); MOSA compliant (T=O)O: Remove weapon system in less than 1 hour; transition to any MMP in less than 1.5 hrs

T: Remove lethality system and transition to any MMP ; IOP 3.0 compliant (T=O); VICTORY 1.8 compliant (T=O); MOSA compliant (T=O)O: Remove system in less than 3 hour; transition to any MMP in less than 1.5 hrs

Silent Watch T: Conduct silent watch with all critical systems powered; Start engine w/o cycling power (T=O)O: 24 hours

T: Conduct silent watch with all critical systems powered; Start engine w/o cycling power (T=O)O: 36 hours

Signature Management

T: Minimized thermal and electronic signature; heat emitting signatures will be located in the rear of the vehicle and not observable from the air (T=O)O: Thermal and electronic signature not visible within 100m; secondary “skin” camouflage
