Help the ABCT realize the Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver (AFC-MM)
- Conduct cooperative engagement – between Combat
Vehicles, between Mounted and Dismounted elements,
and between Air and Ground elements, manned and
unmanned
- Alternative fuels/Improved energy efficiency -
powertrains and electrical power
- Conduct Direct Fire Beyond Line-of-Sight engagements
- Wireless comms between crew/maintainers/dismounts
- Increased protection at reduced weight
- Increased SA
Existing ABCT Challenges IRT AFC-MM:
- Assured/effective communications across increased - Crew 360-degree SA
distances
- Increased Driver Awareness capabilities
- High logistical demand
- Seeing ourselves in all domains (Space, Cyber)
- Vehicle Protection Suite (VPS) for legacy platforms
- Training in a Cyber Electromagnetic Activities
(CEMA) and Electronic Warfare (EW) environment - Improve Reliability and Sustainability to support semi-
independent operations for up to 7 days

Line of Sight
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE
LOS is direct fire used by assaulting elements as they conduct fire and movement to
close with and destroy an enemy.
• The target in a LOS engagement is not masked from the firing platform or
Soldier; the sensor and shooter are the same.
• Direct Fire (LOS) has the advantage of point and shoot immediacy against targets
that can be directly seen or sensed from the combat platform.
• The masking effects of terrain limit both the range and fields of fire available for
LOS engagements.

Beyond Line of Sight
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE
BLOS is a direct fire engagement that extends the range of the traditional direct fire LOS
capability. This opens up fields of fire previously denied to elements due to intervening
terrain, adverse weather affecting LOS engagement or range to the target.
• BLOS fires enable stand-off engagements at extended ranges, enhancing survivability
as platforms remain outside the enemy’s lethality envelope.
• The primary defeat location shifts from engagement areas within the line of sight of
the fighting teams to terrain compartments beyond their line of sight, where the
enemy’s LOS weapons cannot respond.
• The intervening terrain, once an inhibitor to an engagement, now provides protection
to the BLOS system as it engages a target.

Cooperative Engagement
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE
A Cooperative Engagement is a collaborative attack on a target by two or more platforms
in which the sensor and the shooter are not resident on the same platform or echelon
within the BCT formation.
• Two different crews or units, working together using targetable data fed into the
network by organic or networked sensors, and then sent to the weapon system.
• Cooperative Engagement permits mutual support between platoon, company/troop,
and battalion/squadron elements, both mounted and dismounted, operating on
dispersed axes or when the sensing platform’s ability to engage the target is limited by
a restricted field of view, visibility, terrain or obstacles.
• Networked, sensor-to-shooter relationships begin at the squad and platoon level.

Current positioning of forces means we’ll always fight an “away game” against an adversary
forces designed to deny access to terrain, contest all domains, and fight Hybrid warfare…

DISPERSED/DISTRIBUTED OPERATIONS INTERRUPTED COMMUNICATIONS HYPERACTIVE BATTLESPACE NON-CONTIGUOUS
As part of the Joint Force, Army forces deploy and transition rapidly to cross-domain maneuver with
combined arms teams that operate semi-independently to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative; defeat
enemy forces; and achieve operational objectives.
Components Cross-Domain Synergy
Conduct Cross-Domain Maneuver: Create synergy
with capabilities employed across all domains to
increase relative combat power, pose enemies with
multiple dilemmas, and defeat or destroy enemy forces.
Operate Semi-independently: BCTs possess sufficient
mobility, firepower, protection, intelligence, mission
command, and sustainment capabilities necessary to
conduct cross-domain maneuver while dispersed at
extended distances, and for ample duration.
Integrate Reconnaissance and Security
Operations: Combine organic and joint capabilities at
all command echelons across all domains with
reconnaissance and security operations over wide areas
to reduce enemy options and protect the force.
Make Mission Command Real: Empower subordinate
leaders to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative
consistent with the commander’s intent regardless of
the condition of the mission command network or other
cross-domain enablers.
EAB: Manage campaigns and transitions; integrate reconnaissance and security operations; create shared understanding; synchronize operations and shape
11 with
OE for BCTs; organize sustainment operations; and organize theater level consolidation of gains activities to create sustainable outcomes consistent
national objectives. 4

ability to project force across domains generates our decisive advantage.”

Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy Execution
Problem. How must the Army develop and field combat vehicles in the future operational
environment (OE) while optimizing near-term readiness?
Central idea. The Army develops and fields combat vehicles to meet the needs of Brigade Combat
Teams (BCT) executing future maneuver concepts by mapping combat modernization to functional
concepts, prioritizing resources and analyzing trades, employing non-traditional acquisition strategies
and opportunities to accelerate programs, and providing senior leaders options when necessary to
reprioritize.
Aim point. An executable strategy that is formation-focused and leads to meeting the
requirements in the Maneuver Force Modernization Strategy (MFMS) and Army Functional
Concept for Movement and Maneuver (AFC-MM), specifically a BCT with the capacity and
capability to operate semi-independently.
Risks, challenges, & opportunities.
• On present course, Army will not be sufficiently modernized for future threat
• Enhancements to aging fleet near culmination
• Fiscal constraints require tough decisions and choices
• Cost and weight factors limit attributes on protection, lethality, and mobility
• Army must minimize modernization risk across the near, mid, and far-term
• S&T research must focus on critical enabling technologies
CVMS-E is a living document - a running estimate - reality is always evolving

Focus Areas
Cross Domain Dominance
Combat actions occur in all domains quickly and often times simultaneously
Communications become degraded for extended periods of time
Battlefield frameworks and operations assume more nonlinear constructs
Decision making is either decentralized to allow for rapid adaptation to changes in the OE or opportunities are lost
