Opposing Force Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR) program Prototype Project

The Opposing Force Mechanized Vehicle Replacement (OMVR) program is necessary to replace the current threat forces being represented at the Combat Training Centers (CTCs) for training which are Opposing Forces Surrogate Vehicles (OSVs) and Opposing Forces Surrogate Tracked Vehicles (OSTVs) that represent threat Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and Threat Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). Threats have additional types of mechanized/tracked vehicles beside Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Main Battle Tanks in their combat formations, which are currently not being replicated at the Maneuver Combat Training Centers (MCTCs) causing a gap in the replication of the operational environment for rotational training units (RTUs). This gap impacts the readiness of U.S. Army units for large-scale combat operations (LSCO), because RTUs are unable to distinguish between the disruption zone, main battle zone, and support zone during force-on-force training at the MCTCs. Additionally, threats are modernizing their mechanized/tracked vehicles to achieve overmatch against U.S. and allied systems. The OSV and OSTV do not replicate the capabilities of these vehicles (stabilized turrets, improved fire control, laser rangefinders, etc.) causing additional gaps in the replication of the operational environment for RTUs.
