Future Scout & Cavalry System (FSCS)
“Family of vehicles” concept migrates the mature FSCS platform design into FCS (in the USA) and FRES (in the UK)
US/UK Scout Vehicle Program (FUE 2008)
- Advanced Technology Demonstration—concept prototype being built and demonstrated
- Multi-band sensor array with automatic target detection/aided target recognition
- Lethal 40mm autocannon
- Survivable with lightweight composite armor, signature control and defensive aids
- Highly mobile with reduced logistics burden due to fuel-efficient hybrid electric drive and band track
- Advanced crew cockpit design
- C-130 air-transportable at 18.75 tons (US-UK harmonized requirement) to include airdrop
- System design meets goals and timing of U.S. FCS program and UK FRES program
Ideal platform candidate for FCS
