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. 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. The service is now pursuing a more significant modernization effort to increase mobility and survivability on the battlefield. The US Army's Sentinel A4 radar that can track challenging threat targets like cruise missiles is moving into low-rate initial production. The VA has the second-largest federal workforce behind the Department of Defense. The Army has picked two teams to move into a detailed design phase of the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle competition. The Army has chosen for the first time to name a vehicle after a soldier who served post-9/11. The vehicle is also named for a World War II soldier. The US Army has whittled the competition down to four teams vying to build a Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft System. A team of five industry players is building the first launched effects prototypes for the Army as the service continues to experiment with the capability. Load More
