This is What We Learned –
It’s all about the Soldier and…
“In the past the small unit was
built around the fighting system.
Today and for the future, the
fighting system must be built
around the small combat team”
MG(R) Robert Scales*
What are we really talking about?
*Ground Combat Vehicle CONOPS -
Concept paper dated Dec 2, 2010
Every Future Soldier operating 11 as part of a small unit will be
equipped physically, cognitively, socially and with the
appropriate materiel to conduct Full Spectrum Operations.
This will require agility, adaptability, mobility, and the
ability to act efficiently and effectively to simultaneously
and/or sequentially perform in many traditional and nontraditional
roles including, but not limited to warfighting in
complex, rapidly changing environments around the world.
The Soldier, operating as part of a Small Unit, must
“Own the Fight” …wherever and whenever

• The AMRDEC cost/manufacturing team
is deeply involved in our ATOs
• ManTech is a key factor to future
success
• Applied Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper
Munition Components (ASLCMC) is the
premier Army missile affordability
program
• Extended Area Protection &

Javelin Far Target Locator (FTL)
• Javelin currently does not have FTL
• Demonstrating Strap-On FTL with reduced
Space, Weight, and Power (SWaP)
• Pursuing stretch goal of embedded FTL
with Objective accuracy for precision
targeting
• Purpose:
‒ Provide TOW & Javelin a direct digital link to the tactical
network to enable networked Sensors & Shooters at
Company and below level
‒ Provide a Strap-on Far Target Locator (FTL) for Javelin
CLU with reduced SWaP and improved accuracy, on path
to a smaller form factor embedded solution
• FY10 Capstone Demo: at an ATO metrics of TRL6
‒ Small FTL for CLU: demonstrated 2 prototype FTL
solutions that met (T) accuracy of 50m CEP at 4km
‒ TOW & Javelin mission applications using JVMF
‒ TOW & Javelin SINCGARS & SRW Interoperability
‒ Small FTL for CLU: demonstrated 2 prototype FTL
solutions that meet (T) accuracy of 50m CEP at 4km
• AMRDEC continues to push maturation of
precision attitude sensor technology for a small
form factor FTL solution:
• The Micro Inertial Navigator (MINAV) Program:
‒ Has the goal of significant SWaP advancements in the
core technology of navigation grade inertial sensor
technology.
‒ Nav-grade performance will provide a more robust
targeting platform with on-the-move capabilities and
operation in GPS denied environments.

DASA(R&T)’s Problem & Challenge
• The Problem
–It takes too long to get technology enabled
capabilities to the field
–Army S&T is perceived as irrelevant
• Fixing the Problem requires:
–New comprehensive strategy
–Changing the culture
–Restoring confidence in Army S&T
–Building a strong Partnership with Leadership
–Motivating the workforce towards results

Focus on Necessary Behaviors for Success
• Understand Army current and future Warfighter capability needs
• Identify opportunities to leverage emerging science and technology to
address needs
• Selectively invest to develop, adapt, mature, and demonstrate technologies
to provide solutions to capability needs
• Collaborate and leverage with other Services, agencies, international
partners, academia, and the private sector to achieve efficiencies
• Partner with PEO/PMs and rapid acquisition agents to accelerate
technology transition
• Inform and provide technology readiness guidance to acquisition programs
to help reduce program risk
• Sustain an in-house, high quality workforce of scientists and engineers and
a sound laboratory infrastructure
• Communicate the vision and strategy to decision-makers, stakeholders, and
our partners so they understand our value
