M4 Command and Control Vehicle (C2V)
M4電腦繪圖
The Fiscal Year 2001 Army budget request included decisions to restructure or "divest" a number of programs in order to provide some of the resources to support its transformation to achieve the ambitious deployment goals outlined in the October 1999 Army Vision. The restructured programs are the Crusader and the Future Scout and Cavalry System. The "divestitures" include Heliborne Prophet (Air), MLRS Smart Tactical Rocket (MSTAR), Stinger Block II, Command and Control Vehicle (C2V), Grizzly, Wolverine, and the Army Tactical Missile System Block IIA. Funding for these programs was reallocated to fund the Army Vision transformation strategy.
The C2V is a tracked, armored vehicle designed to provide an automated tactical command post for mobile armored operations. At the Corps and division, the C2V will be the tactical command post (TAC), while at the brigade and battalion, it will be the tactical operations center (TOC). The C2V platform is designed to provide information superiority directly supporting the dominant manuever force.
The C2V will provide the maneuver battalion staff with the same degree of speed and mobility as that of the Abrams Tank and Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV). The staff housed within will be able to perform their duties while the vehicle is moving and stationary during highly mobile combat operations. The C2V will house the Army Battle Command System (ABCS) Common Hardware and Software (CHS), its approved and validated communications suite, and other approved electronic devices such as position-navigation equipment. The C2V will capitalize on the experience gained and technology developed for the M1068 Standard Integrated Command Post System (a variation of the M577).
The C2V will normally operate where it can best control the fires and maneuver of Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and other mounted combat systems. It will be refueled and resupplied using the same techniques as other tracked combat vehicles. The C2V will use automotive/armor technology and integrate communication and automation systems that have already been fielded. The C2V maintenance and repair will follow the procedure and standards already established for mechanized infantry and armored forces. The C2V chassis, automotive components, computers, and associated communications will share commonality with the other systems in the unit where it operates.
With a capacity for 4 ATCCS workstations and the capability to receive and send data to the Battle Command Vehicle, as well as linking to the Army Tactical Command & Control System (ATCCS), the C2V provides the ability to support command and control functions during mobile operations with performance objectives and growth potential for full on-the-move operations capability. It will provide mobility, power, intra-inter vehicular data connectivity, electrical power control and distribution from an on-board primary power unit and mounting provisions for onboard and ancillary equipment. The intercom system will provide each workstation with the ability to transmit and receive voice and data to all other workstations within the same C2V and to workstations in other C2Vs within the same command post in the following modes: point to point, group, and communications. The intercom system will also provide the capability to interface with the Army standard vehicular intercom system used in other type of staff vehicles through a LAN. |
