The U.S. Army is making a radical and revolutionary transformation to create a rapidly deployable force capable of placing 5 divisions anywhere in the world within 30 days.
Rapid deployment requires armored vehicles capable of being air dropped into tactical positions.
This unique seminar examines in detail the key issues and technologies involved in this three-dimensional maneuver warfare. It assesses the Army's Maneuver Warfare Doctrine and likely future scenarios, missions and requirements. It evaluates the current and future airlift and combat vehicle requirements, and examines the trade-offs in weight vs. capability for the major combat vehicle subsystems including power plants, drive trains, protection, weapons, sensors and communications. It reviews the Airmechanization capabilities worldwide and provides a road map on how to transition from a legacy force to a full Airmechanization capabilities with budgetary constraints. Most importantly, via specific examples the seminar provides military planners, program managers, system designers, and technical specials with an evolutionary, low-risk path to meeting the new requirements.
