SOLUTIONS DEMONSTRATED:
General Dynamics Land Systems (Booth 803)
Stryker A1 MCWS: The Stryker A1 Medium Caliber Weapon
System is the next generation of the Stryker Infantry Carrier
Vehicle Dragoon (ICVD), which is currently in theater with the
Army's 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Europe. Featuring a lethal 30mm cannon mounted
on a combat-proven Double-V Hull chassis, the Stryker A1 Medium
Caliber Weapons Systems was successfully live fired in August 2019. It provides a solution for the
Army's operational need for greater lethality in the Stryker fleet.
This low-risk, proven solution is ready to meet the Army's program
timelines.
General Dynamics Mission Systems (Booth 1007)
Bridging the Networks – Through internal investments, we
have developed a Network Extension Kit to extend mobile network
capability to Armored Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs). Tailored to
improve and extend the Integrated Tactical Network and building on
lessons learned from a similar effort with a Stryker BCT, it
facilitates mobile and survivable command posts. We will also
feature cloud-like capabilities in a Disconnected, Intermittent,
Limited Bandwidth environment.
Multi-Domain Operations Weapons System – Multi-Domain
Operations Weapons System – A platform independent capability that
is an expeditionary, modular, tailorable, scalable platform
providing mission command, armed reconnaissance, and artillery
forward observer personnel with integration of SIGINT (signals
intelligence), EW (electronic warfare) and cyber effects against
anti-access/area denial threats. Features mounted jam-resistant
friendly forces tracking capability, Mounted Assured Positioning,
Navigation, and Timing (MAPS) GEN-1 Technology and a tethered drone
to bridge the ISR gap and to boost speed, precision and lethality
on the battlefield.
Synthetic Training Environment – A next-generation
extended reality live training solution providing a software-based,
tailorable and fully immersive training experience. Partnering with
the best of industry to leverage commercial off-the-shelf
technologies, our solution provides capabilities now and sets the
foundation for future solutions supporting the Army's complex,
multi-domain fight.
TACLANE-Nano (KG-175N) Encryptor - Now NSA-certified, is
the smallest, lightest and most power efficient HAIPE (High
Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor) available today.
TACLANE-Nano is designed with the latest in crypto modernization
technology to provide protection for voice, video and data
classified up to Top Secret at over 100 Mb/s aggregate throughput.
It is Military Standard-810G ruggedized to withstand the rigors of
any mobile environment from backpack to flyaway kit to deployable
systems and platforms.
Tactical Cross Domain Solution (TACDS): Effective and
accessible communications to and from deployed soldiers is
essential during multi-domain operations. TACDS brings safe and
secure information sharing to the tactical edge. As a low-cost,
small Size, Weight and Power (SWaP), tamper-resistant cross domain
solution, TACDS is ideal for almost any vehicle, mobile shelter,
ground sensor system, aircraft, UAV or soldier-worn application.
TACDS brings security to mission communication between commanders
and the battlefield across multiple forces and domains.
Combat Electronics and Tactical Communications and
Information Systems (TacCIS): A highly customizable, vehicle
based information distribution system, this technology supports
real-time, high-bandwidth, secure voice and data communications
across the battlefield. Capabilities include best-in-class smart
displays, advanced video processing, integrated fire control, smart
power distribution, and battle management solutions. These systems
enable operators to rapidly assess tactical data, communicate
efficiently, and execute orders with confidence in the most
unpredictable environments.
General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (Booth
815):
Iron Fist Light Active Protection System (APS): The Iron
Fist Light is an active protection system that uses independent
optical sensors, tracking radar, launchers and countermeasure
munitions to defeat threats at a safe distance from the defended
combat vehicles. The system provides 360-degree protection coverage
for close-range scenarios in both open terrain and urban
environments. Its low size and weight, versatile high-performance,
ability to minimize residual penetration and ease of integration
position Iron Fist Light as an optimal active protection solution
for any fighting vehicle.
XM1113 Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP): The XM1113 RAP
is an extended range projectile that uses rocket technology to
deliver greater thrust to a round, enabling current U.S. field
artillery 155mm systems the ability to fire to a range of 40km, a
30% increase from M549A1 projectiles. This capability enhances
performance and increases safety for the artillery warfighter. This
round is one of the most critical components of the U.S. Army's
Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) strategy and Extended Range
Cannon Artillery program.
Long Range Precision Guidance Kit (LR PGK): The Long
Range Precision Guidance Kit is a course correcting fuze that
provides near precision accuracy for current and future 155mm High
Explosive projectiles. The LR PGK uses state of the art
technologies to develop a next generation guidance kit that
operates in GPS contested environments. This system greatly
decreases collateral damage and provides a sophisticated approach
to defeating threats on the modern battlefield. LR PGK is
compatible with the XM1113 Rocket Assisted Projectile and future
long-range artillery systems to meet LRPF Indirect Fire program
objectives.
