DESCRIPTION
The National Military Strategy requires an Army that is rapidly deployable
and strategically responsive across the full spectrum of operations. The
Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) encompasses capabilities and
characteristics that are needed but were not available until the first
SBCT was declared operationally capable. As the primary combat and
combat support platform of the SBCT, the Stryker Family of Vehicles
fulfills an immediate requirement for a strategically deployable (C-130/
C-17/C-5) brigade capable of rapid movement worldwide in a combatready
configuration.
The Stryker Family of Vehicles is built on a common chassis, each with
a different Mission Equipment Package. There are 17 variants: 10 flatbottom
variants that include the Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV), Mobile
Gun System (MGS), Reconnaissance Vehicle (RV), Mortar Carrier
(MC), Commander’s Vehicle (CV), Fire Support Vehicle (FSV), Engineer
Squad Vehicle (ESV), Medical Evacuation Vehicle (MEV), Anti-tank
Guided Missile (ATGM) Vehicle and Nuclear Biological Chemical
Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV); and seven Double-V-Hull (DVH)
variants for the following: ICV, CV, MEV, MC, ATGM, FSV and ESV.
The Stryker program leverages nondevelopmental items with common
subsystems and components to allow rapid acquisition and fielding.
Stryker integrates government-furnished materiel subsystems as required
and stresses performance and commonality to reduce the logistics
footprint and minimize costs. The 30 mm cannon was integrated on
the Stryker platform to meet emerging operational requirements and
to improve survivability. With the integration of Engineering Change
Proposal 1 beginning 3QFY16 providing greater horsepower and
electrical output, along with a more robust suspension and in-vehicle
network, the Stryker will be an even more capable platform.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
Stryker vehicles provide the warfighter with a reliable, combattested
platform that includes significant survivability and capability
enhancements since the original fielding in 2002.
