Dear Colleague
Sequestration Budget Cuts Uncertainty These are words that are interjected into every discussion about the future of military projects Platforms and systems as critical as the very vehicles that move our Warfighters around the battlefield are no different Multiple projects and vehicle systems have been cancelled or have never come to full fruition over the last several years
There is good news though We are moving forward again
There are some challenges though such as
middot Identifying ldquobest valuerdquo components is difficult to define
middot Assessing the full spectrum of sub contractor capabilities is easier said than done
middot and speed to market is essential as conflicts abroad percolate
What does this mean for us It means that the Army and Marine Corps are going shopping for a completely new vehicle packages From the weapons to the tires the paint to the bolts Everything is new And who is going to supply these new parts Who is going to challenge the existing tactical vehicle mold and come up with a new system that revolutionizes the battlefield Is it you
This summit is the perfect opportunity to foster that free exchange of ideas and philosophies that leads to the marvelous innovations that protect our Warfighters on a daily basis To present solutions to the individuals who can make sure it ends up exactly where it needs to be the Warfighters hands To this end we will hear from Subject Matter Experts Engineers Project Managers and Senior Leadership from within the Military
Whether you are in the Military work heavily in the tactical vehicle industry or just have a peripheral interest in Tactical Vehicles This event is for you

Specifically we will be addressing the following
middot Improvements in Soldier Protection Systems (ie NBC systems)
Terrain considerations are always an important part of the METT-TC process and can never be over emphasized when dealing with a resilient enemy utilizing asymmetrical warfare From initial testing of a vehicle to the actual deployment on the battlefield vehicles must be able to perform under the most stringent of environments From World War II to the battle of Mogadishu all too often have terrain considerations and vehicle performance have changed the entire outlook of a battle or campaign
Mission critical damage can deadline a vehicle and put each Soldier or Marines life at stake The AMPV offers enhanced protection systems designed specifically to protect its occupants at all costs Without such upgrades these vehicles would fall prey to the same IEDrsquos and threats that plagued earlier personnel carriers

0845 Future of the Ultra Lightweight Combat Vehicle In addition to the JLTV the military is also exploring the option of
creating and utilizing an ultra lightweight combat vehicle This vehicles mission is primary to be airdropped into enemy territory and secure an objective using speed and mobility rather then dense armor and offensive weaponry
Specifically we will address
middot An analysis of the risks and rewards of sacrificing armor for mobility middot Proposed utilization for the ULCV on the battlefield middot How to successfully integrate airdropped vehicles into the combat

1330 Ultra-Light Tactical Mobility and the Expeditionary Force
With current MRAPs tipping the scales at between 14-17 tons the concept of ldquomore armor is betterrdquo has led to serious mission constraints Their sheer size has created logistical nightmares and a very limited mission profile The constant battle between more armor versus high yield explosives has led to the only remaining question Can you design a vehicle that is impervious to any explosion or is there a point of diminishing returns
In this session we will examine issues such as
middot Is it possible to create a vehicle impervious to any explosion middot At what point has the vehicle become unwieldy and unnecessarily
cumbersome middot Should the military invest in alternative forms of protection (ie
Laser defense shields all titanium vehicle etc)
1415 Afternoon Networking amp Refreshment Break
1445 Airborne Forcible Vehicle Entry Requirements As the conflicts of the world continue to evolve it has become more
imperative for Soldiers to respond on shorter deadlines in a variety of conditions Airdropping both Soldiers and vehicles into a hostile environment has always been a difficult task specifically maximizing payload capacity while minimizing performance concerns from the aircraft The Military is always seeking new vehicles capable of being sling loaded or airdropped without any concerns of weight or potential damage to the vehicle
This section will focus on
middot Weight Requirements for future forcible entry vehicles middot Vehicle size constraints middot Which is more important in these situations Armor or Speed middot What requirements must the vehicle have if it was ever cut off
from friendly forces
1530 Armyrsquos Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy The Army is currently sees a requirement for three distinct
lightweight combat vehicles in maneuver formations An Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle a Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and a Light Tank These distinctly different capabilities are intended initially to enable the Infantry Brigade Combat Team to execute forcible entry operations but may have far more broad application As the new Army Operating Concept outlines a need for greater expeditionary maneuver capability expressed as scalabletailorable force packages so we must seek the right combinations of different light weight platforms We also see the need for horizontal technological insertions across platforms to generate greater capability for maneuver formations

middot Improvements in Soldier Protection Systems (ie NBC systems)
Terrain considerations are always an important part of the METT-TC process and can never be over emphasized when dealing with a resilient enemy utilizing asymmetrical warfare From initial testing of a vehicle to the actual deployment on the battlefield vehicles must be able to perform under the most stringent of environments From World War II to the battle of Mogadishu all too often have terrain considerations and vehicle performance have changed the entire outlook of a battle or campaign
Mission critical damage can deadline a vehicle and put each Soldier or Marines life at stake The AMPV offers enhanced protection systems designed specifically to protect its occupants at all costs Without such upgrades these vehicles would fall prey to the same IEDrsquos and threats that plagued earlier personnel carriers

1115 Overview of ABBS Advanced Protection Systems One of them most common and deadliest of threats to Warfighters
on the move are the unseen IEDs This brief will give an overview of the range of Active Protection Systems These systems either directly attack an incoming threat to prevent it becoming effective or which actively counteract and hence mitigate the effects of a threat followed by a more detailed description of the new technologies which will shortly become available in the USACanada The relevance of these technologies to armored vehicle design especially large APCrsquos LTVrsquos SUVrsquos and Lightweight Special Forces vehicles will be demonstrated and how basic armored vehicle designs need to change to maximize the potential benefits available will be outlinedWe will be introduced to such topics as
middot The DREHTAINER Zero Shockreg technology which protects against the initial shock and floor deformation effects of under-belly mines or IEDrsquos
middot The Advanced Blast amp Ballistic Systems Ltd VGAM (Vehicle Global Acceleration Mitigation) and VAFS (Vehicle Armored Floor
Stabilization) systems which directly counteract under-belly mineIED effects and the use of the VGAM system in combination with DREHTAINERrsquos Zero Shock technology

0845 Future of the Ultra Lightweight Combat Vehicle In addition to the JLTV the military is also exploring the option of
creating and utilizing an ultra lightweight combat vehicle This vehicles mission is primary to be airdropped into enemy territory and secure an objective using speed and mobility rather then dense armor and offensive weaponry
Specifically we will address
middot An analysis of the risks and rewards of sacrificing armor for mobility middot Proposed utilization for the ULCV on the battlefield middot How to successfully integrate airdropped vehicles into the combat

1330 Ultra-Light Tactical Mobility and the Expeditionary Force
With current MRAPs tipping the scales at between 14-17 tons the concept of ldquomore armor is betterrdquo has led to serious mission constraints Their sheer size has created logistical nightmares and a very limited mission profile The constant battle between more armor versus high yield explosives has led to the only remaining question Can you design a vehicle that is impervious to any explosion or is there a point of diminishing returns
In this session we will examine issues such as
middot Is it possible to create a vehicle impervious to any explosion middot At what point has the vehicle become unwieldy and unnecessarily
cumbersome middot Should the military invest in alternative forms of protection (ie
Laser defense shields all titanium vehicle etc)
1415 Afternoon Networking amp Refreshment Break
1445 Airborne Forcible Vehicle Entry Requirements As the conflicts of the world continue to evolve it has become more
imperative for Soldiers to respond on shorter deadlines in a variety of conditions Airdropping both Soldiers and vehicles into a hostile environment has always been a difficult task specifically maximizing payload capacity while minimizing performance concerns from the aircraft The Military is always seeking new vehicles capable of being sling loaded or airdropped without any concerns of weight or potential damage to the vehicle
This section will focus on
middot Weight Requirements for future forcible entry vehicles middot Vehicle size constraints middot Which is more important in these situations Armor or Speed middot What requirements must the vehicle have if it was ever cut off
from friendly forces
1530 Armyrsquos Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy The Army is currently sees a requirement for three distinct
lightweight combat vehicles in maneuver formations An Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle a Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and a Light Tank These distinctly different capabilities are intended initially to enable the Infantry Brigade Combat Team to execute forcible entry operations but may have far more broad application As the new Army Operating Concept outlines a need for greater expeditionary maneuver capability expressed as scalabletailorable force packages so we must seek the right combinations of different light weight platforms We also see the need for horizontal technological insertions across platforms to generate greater capability for maneuver formations

1330 Ultra-Light Tactical Mobility and the Expeditionary Force
With current MRAPs tipping the scales at between 14-17 tons the concept of ldquomore armor is betterrdquo has led to serious mission constraints Their sheer size has created logistical nightmares and a very limited mission profile The constant battle between more armor versus high yield explosives has led to the only remaining question Can you design a vehicle that is impervious to any explosion or is there a point of diminishing returns
In this session we will examine issues such as
middot Is it possible to create a vehicle impervious to any explosion middot At what point has the vehicle become unwieldy and unnecessarily
cumbersome middot Should the military invest in alternative forms of protection (ie
Laser defense shields all titanium vehicle etc)
1415 Afternoon Networking amp Refreshment Break
1445 Airborne Forcible Vehicle Entry Requirements As the conflicts of the world continue to evolve it has become more
imperative for Soldiers to respond on shorter deadlines in a variety of conditions Airdropping both Soldiers and vehicles into a hostile environment has always been a difficult task specifically maximizing payload capacity while minimizing performance concerns from the aircraft The Military is always seeking new vehicles capable of being sling loaded or airdropped without any concerns of weight or potential damage to the vehicle
This section will focus on
middot Weight Requirements for future forcible entry vehicles middot Vehicle size constraints middot Which is more important in these situations Armor or Speed middot What requirements must the vehicle have if it was ever cut off
from friendly forces
1530 Armyrsquos Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy The Army is currently sees a requirement for three distinct
lightweight combat vehicles in maneuver formations An Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle a Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and a Light Tank These distinctly different capabilities are intended initially to enable the Infantry Brigade Combat Team to execute forcible entry operations but may have far more broad application As the new Army Operating Concept outlines a need for greater expeditionary maneuver capability expressed as scalabletailorable force packages so we must seek the right combinations of different light weight platforms We also see the need for horizontal technological insertions across platforms to generate greater capability for maneuver formations

middot Amorphous Metal Casting middot Precision Machining of Super Alloys
In this workshop we will focus on the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle and its introduction to the battlefield Additionally we will focus on the increased versatility of the AMPV and how it will become a key component in the Army of 2025
Specifically we will be addressing the following
middot Improvements in Soldier Protection Systems (ie NBC systems)
Terrain considerations are always an important part of the METT-TC process and can never be over emphasized when dealing with a resilient enemy utilizing asymmetrical warfare From initial testing of a vehicle to the actual deployment on the battlefield vehicles must be able to perform under the most stringent of environments From World War II to the battle of Mogadishu all too often have terrain considerations and vehicle performance have changed the entire outlook of a battle or campaign
Mission critical damage can deadline a vehicle and put each Soldier or Marines life at stake The AMPV offers enhanced protection systems designed specifically to protect its occupants at all costs Without such upgrades these vehicles would fall prey to the same IEDrsquos and threats that plagued earlier personnel carriers

0900 The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Developing a new lightweight tactical vehicle has long been a priority
for the military as an alternative or augmenter to the HMMWV These vehicles offer enhanced mobility and protection on the battlefield and without them Soldiers will remain limited in the vehicles that may be taken into a potentially hostile area The time will soon be arriving that the winner of the contract will be announced In this particular session we will introduce the concept of the JLTV and the requirements the military has imposed on this particular program The following topics will be covered in more depth
middot How we got to the JLTV
middot Benefits of the JLTV
middot Incorporating the JTLV into existing military fleets
middot Estimated time before these vehicles begin augmenting current fleets

0845 Future of the Ultra Lightweight Combat Vehicle In addition to the JLTV the military is also exploring the option of
creating and utilizing an ultra lightweight combat vehicle This vehicles mission is primary to be airdropped into enemy territory and secure an objective using speed and mobility rather then dense armor and offensive weaponry
Specifically we will address
middot An analysis of the risks and rewards of sacrificing armor for mobility middot Proposed utilization for the ULCV on the battlefield middot How to successfully integrate airdropped vehicles into the combat

1330 Ultra-Light Tactical Mobility and the Expeditionary Force
With current MRAPs tipping the scales at between 14-17 tons the concept of ldquomore armor is betterrdquo has led to serious mission constraints Their sheer size has created logistical nightmares and a very limited mission profile The constant battle between more armor versus high yield explosives has led to the only remaining question Can you design a vehicle that is impervious to any explosion or is there a point of diminishing returns
In this session we will examine issues such as
middot Is it possible to create a vehicle impervious to any explosion middot At what point has the vehicle become unwieldy and unnecessarily
cumbersome middot Should the military invest in alternative forms of protection (ie
Laser defense shields all titanium vehicle etc)
1415 Afternoon Networking amp Refreshment Break
1445 Airborne Forcible Vehicle Entry Requirements As the conflicts of the world continue to evolve it has become more
imperative for Soldiers to respond on shorter deadlines in a variety of conditions Airdropping both Soldiers and vehicles into a hostile environment has always been a difficult task specifically maximizing payload capacity while minimizing performance concerns from the aircraft The Military is always seeking new vehicles capable of being sling loaded or airdropped without any concerns of weight or potential damage to the vehicle
This section will focus on
middot Weight Requirements for future forcible entry vehicles middot Vehicle size constraints middot Which is more important in these situations Armor or Speed middot What requirements must the vehicle have if it was ever cut off
from friendly forces
1530 Armyrsquos Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy The Army is currently sees a requirement for three distinct
lightweight combat vehicles in maneuver formations An Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle a Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and a Light Tank These distinctly different capabilities are intended initially to enable the Infantry Brigade Combat Team to execute forcible entry operations but may have far more broad application As the new Army Operating Concept outlines a need for greater expeditionary maneuver capability expressed as scalabletailorable force packages so we must seek the right combinations of different light weight platforms We also see the need for horizontal technological insertions across platforms to generate greater capability for maneuver formations
