1.3. SYSTEM/FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTON:

Tank Destroyer provides new communication systems and weapon system upgrades.

The Tank Destroyer with a scout Mission Equipment Package (MEP) modification, provides infantry and Cavalry (CAV) scouts a unique based platform in lieu of the Reconnaissance Vehicle they would have used in FBH equipped SBCTs. To enable the accomplishment of unique mission capabilities, unique MEPs are integrated onto a common platform. Over the course of multiple deployments, kits were applied to the platform primarily to enhance force protection and survivability, as well as to enhance Command and Control (C2). The test team will conduct test events that will consist of a combination of Force on Force missions against a representative threat, which will stress the system in order to gather the necessary data using a combination of instrumentation and manual collection procedures.
