3. TEST NARRATIVE INFORMATION:

3.1. System/Functional Description: The M10 BCV system provides early entry forces a mobile, protected, direct fire capability to apply immediate, lethal, long-range fires in the engagement of armored vehicles, hardened enemy fortifications, dismounted personnel and represents a long-term solution to the Infantry Brigade Combat Team capability.

The M10 BCV capability is a new materiel solution, based on the Joint Requirements Oversight Counsel Capability Development Document approved.

Key BCV system characteristics include:

• Tracked vehicle with a minimum crew of four soldiers (commander, gunner, loader and driver).

• Two vehicles deployable by a single C-17 aircraft, in an operational, roll-on-roll-off (RORO) configuration.

• Crew protection from small arms, heavy machine guns, overhead artillery, underbelly mine, side improvised explosive device (IED), and kinetic energy (KE) threats.

• Utilizing ammunition available in the Department of Defense (DoD) inventory, the main gun applies precise, lethal, long-range fire, capable of neutralizing a bunker, conducting a wall breach and defeating light armor and second tier main battle tank equivalent armor while on the move, in day, night, and all-weather conditions.

• Sufficient platform speed and mobility to successfully keep pace with other vehicles in the formation.

• Communications system, which permits the simultaneous ability to transmit or receive both internal and external communications among all vehicle occupants.

• Sufficient size, weight, power, and cooling (SWaP-C) to facilitate integration of IBCT tactical network modernization technologies.

• Supported using the established logistics and maintenance structure for Army equipment, using the Army field level maintenance system with repair parts available through the existing supply system.

• 90% Operational Readiness (OR) rate.

3.2. Scope/Context: The M10 Booker Combat Vehicle (BCV) will fill a capability gap in the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) identified in the Secretary of the Army's and

Chief of Staff (CoS) of the Army's Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy. The BCV shall provide IBCTs a mobile, protected, direct fire capability to apply immediate, lethal, long-range fires in the engagement of armored vehicles, hardened enemy fortifications and dismounted personnel. The M10 BCV prevents the enemy from disrupting the momentum and tempo of the IBCT, ensuring freedom of movement and action. It also creates infantry breach points in urban, restricted, and open rolling terrain. The M10 BCV platoons support infantry battalions as they move, attack, defend, and perform other essential tasks to support the IBCT’s mission. Infantry and BCV teams work together to bring the maximum combat power to bear on the enemy. The infantry locates and identifies targets for the BCV to engage, allowing infantry squads and platoons to maneuver along covered and concealed routes to assault enemy elements.

Infantry squads provide protection for the BCV against attack by enemy infantry. The BCV provides heavy, continuous supporting fires against enemy strongpoints and positions. Infantry brigades lack an organic capability necessary to defeat enemy prepared positions and destroy enemy light armored vehicles ensuring freedom of maneuver and action for infantry in close contact with the enemy. The infantry brigade requires a protected, long range, precision direct fire capability to defeat enemy prepared positions, heavy machineguns, bunkers, and light armored vehicle threats during offensive operations or when conducting defensive operations against attacking enemy. The requirement for an M10 BCV capability is directly linked to the Army Warfighter Challenges (Conduct Joint Force Expeditionary Maneuver, Conduct Wide Area Security, Conduct Joint Combined Arms Maneuver, and Develop Capable Formations). Without this capability, infantry brigades confronting defending enemies in restrictive or urban terrain shall lose momentum, creating opportunities for the enemy and making static infantry forces vulnerable to enemy indirect fire and counterattacks.

Because our adversaries shall operate in restrictive terrain and intermingle with civilian populations, indirect and aerial delivered fires shall prove inadequate to support infantry in close combat during offensive and defensive operations. The mission of M10 BCV is to provide precision, lethal, long range fires capability to the Infantry Brigade to quickly defeat enemy forces, destroy bunkers, walls, and light armored vehicles while maintaining momentum and freedom of action. Once tasks are organized, BCV platoons and sections move, attack, defend, and perform other specific tasks to support the brigade’s mission. M10 BCV shall be employed based on conditions affecting METT-TC

(I) as a company, platoon, or section. Normally, M10 BCV platoons shall be employed in support of Infantry Battalions and Companies. When METT-TC (I) conditions warrant, M10 BCV may also be employed dispersed in sections of two in direct support of infantry companies/platoons. In accomplishing its assigned missions, it employs firepower and maneuver, synchronizing its capabilities with those of other maneuver elements. The M10 BCV offers an array of capabilities on the modern battlefield. It can move rapidly in a variety of terrain conditions, negotiating soft ground, shallow trenches, small trees, and limited obstacles allowing the BCV to close with and destroy the enemy providing sustained, long range, precision lethal effects in all weather and light conditions. The M10 BCV does not change or alter the infantry brigade’s Mission Essential Tasks (METL). This capability along with other future capabilities are aimed at enhancing the infantry brigade’s ability to perform its METL in a complex environment.

The actual time frame will not be known until the unit provides the hours of maintenance support they plan to work.

(32) Anticipate 24-hour coverage for RAM data collectors supporting the 12 SUTs in play during FoF mission execution. (The SUTs break down: 10 SUTs in play plus 2 Spares) The Data Management (DM) Cell shall not perform 24-hour operations during the FoF but may require extended hours of support to meet data reduction and delivery deadlines established by test team.

(33) Provide support for a daily data harvest during the execution of the pilot and record test of the FoF with the collection of RAM data, photos, and administration of the performance and HSI surveys by electronic means.

This will be a timed event with two SUTs being loaded onto a C17 and will fly off from Pope Army Airfield and will download at Holland Landing Zone. RAM data, and performance data shall be collected during this excursion. Expect photos to be taken of any issue that may arise.

(35) Towing Excursion: During the FoF there shall be a towing of two SUTs and RAM and other pertain data collected. If towing does not occur under normal conditions, then two separate towing events will be executed by Test Operations during the FoF to exercise the towing capability of the M10 booker.
