Edwards Director, ACM SBCT Cross Domain Maneuver Capable SBCT 2028-2040 • Execute Command and Control • Integrate cross-domain recon and security • Operate semi-independently • Integrate enabling support from corps and divisions UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED ACM SBCT Break Out Agenda The Future of the SBCT: Facts and Assumptions The SBCT 2028-2040 Force Design SBCT Conducting Cross-Domain Maneuver (FY2028+) Industry Opportunities Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED 2 UNCLASSIFIED The Future of the SBCT: Facts and Assumptions Facts • The SBCT 2028-2040 O&O describes equipment and personnel growth that the Army cannot afford without significant manpower and budgetary growth • The SBCT will remain a SBCT despite the Division becoming the Unit of Action • We should no longer employ an Industrial Age solution model that adds personnel and vehicles to the formation • The SBCT’s 108 Infantry Squads will remain the centerpiece of the formation Assumptions • The SBCT 2028-2040 O&O effectively defines the projected OE, describes how the SBCT must conduct maneuver, and lays out the required capabilities that enable the SBCT to conduct cross domain maneuver in the future • The DVHA1 Stryker will be the platform that takes us beyond 2040; some SBCTs will use the DVHA1 into the 2050s • The SBCT will not receive significant lethality upgrades beyond those currently programmed between now and 2035 The Challenge Develop and field capabilities that enable the SBCT to meet the challenges of the Projected OE and meet the required capabilities to conduct cross domain maneuver affordably within anticipated personnel and budget growth constraints Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED 3 UNCLASSIFIED The SBCT 2028-2040 Force Design SBCT Limitations: CEMA Fires survivability, responsiveness, mobility O&O Identified Materiel Solutions: Direct fire lethality Deliberate decontamination Cross-Domain R&S Indirect or aerialdelivered munitions Medical capacity Organic sustainment haul capacity Organic maintenance support Mobility, countermobility, survivability DVHA1 replaces FBH and DVH Mobile Command Post Airspace management Remote CBRNE Hazard detection Direct fire protection Counter-UAS SHORAD Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED 30mm MCWS (3 BCTs) CROWS-J ATGM MITAS Upgrade Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) Additive Manufacturing Capability JLTV replaces HMMWVs Robotic Combat Vehicle- Light & Medium Upgrade NBCRV Improve FDC Survivability and Mobility Increase Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS): SRR, MRR, LRR IVAS / ENVG-B NGSW-R NGSW-AR Squad Fire Control MGS Replacement High Speed Maneuverable Missile Wheeled Howitzer Log Distro UAS 4 UNCLASSIFIED SBCT Conducting Cross-Domain Maneuver (FY2028+) Capable of operating semi-independently and integrating reconnaissance and security operations to synchronize and employ their formations and capabilities through movement in combination with converged lethal and nonlethal capabilities across multiple domains Mobile Command Posts provide speed and survivability to command nodes Cyber / Electronic Warfare 1 3 4 Medium Range Recon (MRR) Joint Tactical Autonomous Aerial Resupply System (JTAARS) Long Range Recon (LRR) 1 Mobile TAC Terrestrial Layered System (TLS) 1 4 155mm Wheeled SelfPropelled Howitzers 2 3 4 Tethered Short Range Recon (SRR) 1 4 Robotic Combat Vehicles (RCV) 2 EMS deception 1 3 2 High-Speed Maneuverable Missile (HSMM) 1 2 2 3 1 See the enemy first (cyber, electromagnetic spectrum, visual) 2 Maximize standoff and engage the enemy first (across Domain Capabilities domains, BLOS, direct fires) 4 Medium Caliber Weapon Station (MCWS) & CROWS-J Combined Domain Effects Defeat threat in close combat / Deny threat Air freedom of action (enable Blue Air) / Detect & Defeat Cyber/Space Land based platforms Destroys threat air capabilities, Attrit Threat ground forces / Enable ground with ISR, EW & Communications Mobile, Lethal, and Protected BCT formations/Air Defense (SHORAD), Cyberspace, EW & Space Access/ Multi-Domain Exploit windows of opportunity to enable maneuver to a 3Obscuration position of advantage to isolate, fix, and target the enemy Joint fires / Counter-Air / ISR / EW / Communications SBCT converges lethal and nonlethal capabilities across 4Obscuration, Network Protection, Signal Reconnaissance Conceal Digital / EMS signature / Disrupt Threat ADA & IDF Systems / Identify threat signal multiple domains to provide overmatch necessary to destroy or defeat enemy forces 0 km 1 km 2 km 3 km Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team 4 km 5 km UNCLASSIFIED 6 km 7 km+ Engage 8 km 9 km 10 km+ DRI 5 UNCLASSIFIED Industry Opportunities • Incorporate capabilities that reduce existing demands and empower combat formations to conduct Cross Domain Maneuver • Strive to not add platforms to the formation; capability growth occurs in SWAP margins and integration onto existing platforms • Integrate EW capabilities to the tactical level • Cross Domain Maneuver enabled and capable: harness the power of a robust, reliable network and push the limits of what the network can do • Focus on enabling the individual Soldier and dismounted elements • Incorporate Machine Learning, AI, and RAS to the greatest extent possible • Integrate RAS capabilities • Integrate Networked SBCT capabilities • Integrate capabilities from the CFTs • Integrate platform electrification • Integrate S&T capabilities across all warfighting functions Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED 6 UNCLASSIFIED Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Questions Army Capabilities Manager, Stryker Brigade Combat Team UNCLASSIFIED 6
