Unit of action

FCS is a networked system of systems that will serve as the core building block within all maneuver Unit of Action echelons to develop overmatching combat power, sustainability, agility, and versatility necessary for full spectrum military operations.

PROCESS

From The Army G-4From The Army G-4

We must challenge Defense Contractors and their engineers to design systems that meet tough requirements.

Self reporting No vehicles that get less than 30 mpg No repairables No spares No Systems w/o embedded diagnostics/prognostics

Future systems must be built with ultra reliable components that require minimal preventive maintenance, and when maintenance is required repairs and services are easily and quickly performed.

No special tools No external TMDE MTBF > Duration of pulsed operations

We may have to pay up front for such “Ultra-reliable” systems, but our future warfighting concepts depend on them. If systems don’t perform as advertised, there should be penalties.

“Significant reduction in the logistics footprint and costs will occur when reliability, maintainability, And fuel efficiency are effectively balanced with

Cost, Schedule and Performance”

SBCT CoC Transportability Findings:

• >5 hrs to remove/Install S280 Shelters

• >1 hr to remove/install ring mounts

• Added an additional 45 Light Cranes (MHE)

• 144 TWVs required MHE for C-130

• Long RSOI times

• TWVs C-130 deployable w/o loads

Increased Range thru fuel efficiency and dynamic movement tracking

Current TWVs:• Less than 10% have Comms Capability• Average range is 300 miles w/o refuelingFTTS:• Imbedded/Integrated C4ISR will provide 100% Comms with the Warfighter in the UoA• Fuel Efficiency will increase range 100-200% allowing fluid distribution over greater operational distances (600 – 900 miles) w/no increase in tank capacity
