Future Force Warrior (FFW) Small Combat Unit Modeling And Simulation; Conference paper

摘要

The Future Force Warrior (FFW) is the US Army's system of systems concept and technology initiative for Soldiers in the Future Force. The primary objective of Future Force Warrior Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) is to integrate and demonstrate technologies, system of systems concepts, and development of warfighting concepts that provide a substantial increase in combat effectiveness for a Small Combat Unit (SCU) operating in the Future Force Brigade Combat Team. These technologies and concepts will then be transitioned to Army Acquisition programs for development and fielding. The FFW program has developed a method using models and simulations to assess the relative combat effectiveness of SCUs equipped with these technologies. The relative combat effectiveness of various configurations can be used by the program management and systems engineers to make design and basis-of-issue decisions resulting in improved capabilities for the SCU. The selected capabilities and configurations will be prototyped and then tested in experimentation during the course of the ATD. In summary, the FFW ATD is conducting research and development to provide our Soldiers with the best equipment we can, and integrated analysis and experimentation gives the engineers the data they need to design the best possible system.
