. Booth 825: General Dynamics Combat Systems
. Booth 624: General Dynamics Information Systems and Technology
HIGHLIGHTS:
. Abrams M1A2 SEP Version 2 with TUSK: The latest configuration of the
world’s finest main battle tank, the Abrams, will be on display.
See the latest technology and survivability enhancements being applied
to the current fleet.
. General Dynamics’ Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Technology
Demonstrator: JLTV is expected to provide the U.S. Army and Marine Corps
with a family of more-survivable vehicles with greater performance, payload
and mobility than the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).
The demonstrator displays 21st century technology, a unique protective
design, and other capabilities General Dynamics’ is exploring to
be applied to this class of Light Combat Tactical Vehicles.
. LAV H High Capacity Technology Demonstrator: This LAV II/III test platform
demonstrates an improved mine-blast protection hull, mine-blast soldier
seating, digital architecture with power management/data bus, 360-degree
situational awareness, and 55K lb suspension and driveline to meet evolving
operational needs.
. Mobile Detection Assessment Response System (MDARS): The Army’s
first semi-autonomous robot to enter production, MDARS autonomously patrols
inventory-sensitive compounds using existing roads with normal traffic,
while providing a first-responder capability that locates, challenges
and tracks potentially dangerous intruders without risk to guard forces.
. FCS: MGV Variants and Common Chassis Progress: The Mounted Combat System
(MCS), Command and Control Vehicle (C2V) and Reconnaissance and Surveillance
Vehicle (RSV) being developed by GDLS are three key Manned Ground Vehicles
aimed at bringing significant improvements to the Future Combat Systems
Brigade Combat Team (FBCT) in the areas of force lethality, survivability
and mobility. All mission variants are integrated on the common chassis
to insure improved reliability, supportability and affordability. View
the latest information on each of these MGV variants.
. Land Warrior: See Land Warrior at work in a simulated mission scenario,
including interoperability with Stryker vehicles so warfighters can access
and share real-time voice, video and data communications with commanders.
View new Future Force Warrior simulations of voice-control capabilities
that enable hands-free control of the Warrior system.
. WIN-T Warfighter Information Network: Recently restructured by the U.S.
Army to deliver initial on-themove capabilities to the force sooner, WIN-T
is a mobile tactical network for on-the-move communications among tactical
warfighters, platforms and command posts. The WIN-T demonstration showcases
critical technologies and capabilities proven through actual scenarios
including mobile ad hoc networking using a three-tier communications architecture
for ground, airborne and satellite layers and high bandwidth on demand
while operating on the move and at-the-quick halt.
. Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Handheld, Manpack and Small Form
Fit (HMS): The first twochannel JTRS radio running the Soldier Radio Waveform
(SLICE 1.04p) on a Software Communication Architecture (SCA) platform
will be on display and demonstrated. Channel one will show voice communications
with a legacy SINCGARS radio while channel two will show data transmissions
with a small form factor radio via the SLICE 1.04p waveform. A Network
Enabler Module running both voice and data on a reference platform will
also be on display.
. ARAT/BRAT Reactive Armor: Mission-proven reactive armor for the Abrams
M1A1 Tank and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle utilizes insensitive, high-energy
explosives to provide state-of-the-art protection against a variety of
anti-armor munitions, including shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenades.
. Counter-MANPADS Aircraft-Protection System (CMAPS): A ground-based system
designed to detect and defeat shoulder-fired, heat-seeking missiles used
to attack aircraft during takeoffs and landings.
. MK47, STRIKER40 40mm Advanced Lightweight Grenade Weapon System: A major
advancement in crew-served weapon systems, the MK47 uses the latest targeting
and fire-control technology to provide more target impact with less collateral
impact.
. M2 Enhanced Gun: The M2 Enhanced Gun provides the war fighter with new
features and desig improvements based on existing M2HB technology, such
as the quick-change barrel system and flash hider, eliminating head space
and timing issues.
. GAU-19/A: GAU-19/A: The GAU-19/A three-barrel 12.7mm Gatling gun helps
the war fighter prevail by providing violent suppression in both air-to-air
and air-to-ground missions.
. XM312: The XM312 is a lightweight, portable machine gun. This next-generation
replacement for current heavy machine guns efficiently manages recoil
and is highly portable in small dismounted units.
. Secure Communications: General Dynamics brings you “What’s
Next” in Type 1 Secure Communications solutions from network to
desktop to individual. Secure voice and data communication solutions such
as the Sectera® Edge™ (SME PED) wireless phone/PDA and the Sectéra
vIPer™ Phone for Voice over IP networks will be demonstrated. High-speed,
mobile network encryption solutions, such as the TACLANE™-Micro
and TACLANE-Router will be shown.
. Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector: JSLSCAD
is a detection system designed to provide ground, air and sea platforms
of the 21st century with state-of-the-art remote chemical agent detection.
The technology is based on a passive infrared detection system that automatically
searches specific regions of the surrounding atmosphere for chemical agent
vapor clouds.
. M1001 40mm High Velocity Canister Cartridge (HVCC): For use with the
Mk19 and Mk 47 grenade launchers. Type-classified with full materiel release,
the M1001 cartridge is designed for close-in combat and contains flechettes
that disperse in a widening pattern from the muzzle and are capable of
target penetration out to 100 meters.
. 25x137mm High Explosive Air Burst (HEAB) Fuze: Under contract by the
US Army, General Dynamics will complete a technology study and ballistic
demonstration of the fuze that is scaleable through 50mm cartridge applications.
This air bursting fuze utilizes a Command to Arm (CTA) Safe and Arm (S&A)
device and has been proven to work in 25x137mm, 30x173mm and Super40mm
cartridges.
. 120mm IM HE-T High Explosive Cartridge: Provides the Armor Force with
an improved infantry support capability. The IM HE-T will complement the
tank's current main gun ammunition with an IM compliant full bore HE warhead
capable of defeating a target set that includes bunkers, fortifications,
light armor and personnel.
. 120mm Mortar Family: Used extensively by U.S. forces throughout all
active combat zones, the 120mm mortar is the counter-battery weapon of
choice for maneuver force leaders. General Dynamics has the only facility
to have ever manufactured the shell bodies and have done so for the past
11 years.
. 155mm M795 Artillery: The U.S. armed forces state-of -the-art 155mm
high explosive artillery projectile. It is deployed in the GWOT and the
body has been manufactured exclusively at General Dynamics Ordnance and
