Future Force WarriorAdvanced Technology Demonstration
Update
NDIA International Infantry & Joint Services Small Arms Systems Annual Symposium
18 May 2005
A Revolutionary capability for the Future Force
• Integration program structured to leverage cutting edge technologies
• Currently in S&T phase• System of Systems concept
maximizing effectiveness of small combat unit (SCU) operations
• Interoperable with Future Combat System
• Early design phase for LW III/ Ground Soldier System
The Future Force Warrior (FFW) ATD
FFW ATD End State
• End State 1: Integrate and demonstrate technologies, system of systems concepts, and development of war fighting concepts that provide a substantial increase in combat effectiveness for a Small Combat Unit operating in the Future Force UoA for transition to the Spiral 2 GSS SDD program. Verify increased effectiveness via analysis and demonstration.
• End State 2: Identify and support the transition of mature technologies for insertion into Spiral 1 GSS SDD (LW) and other PEO programs prior to the ATD completion.
• End State 3: Define the baseline objective GSS architecture, contrast it to mounted/air soldier requirements, identify any gaps, evaluate the modifications required to fill the gaps, provide hooks in the design where appropriate, fill those gaps that have minimal impact on FFW execution, and document the recommended plan forward for the SaaS.

Evolutionary Acquisition Approach with Revolutionary Technology
Land Warrior & Future Force Warrior Consolidation
• LW and FFW are now being integrated using the Spiral roadmap to Ground Soldier, with FCS and JTRS Cl5 insertions
• Meets the Congressional language for merging programs
• LTI function being moved to GDC4S to facilitate focused spiral implementation
• Cost savings being achieved through re-use, consolidated architectures, and technology insertion prioritization
Milestones:– Jan 05: Changes in organization,
contract structure & technology announced
– Report to Congress on LW/FFW consolidation submitted 2 Feb 05
– Mid-Feb 05: Rebaseline Plan developed and approved
– 31 Mar 05: New program rebaseline defined and implementation started

FFW Netted Fires Experiments
Plan developed by Plt Ldr and shared down to Sqd Ldrs, then to all soldiers.
Plt Ldr/Sqd Ldr PDA FFW Soldier CDAS HMD(CDAS Combat View)
Preplanned Targets
• Soldiers used FFW CDAS 25%-30% of the time.• FFW CDAS performed call for fire 5 times faster
then, comparative voice. (both from Paladin )
• Soldier comfortable calling fire with FFW CDAS• FFW CDAS improved Lethality, Distribution and
Management of squad fires, reachback and survivability.(FCS NLOS/PAM/LAM).
FFW Lethality
• Projected 2007 ATD Product– Distributed Capabilities
• Weapon sensors distributed according to requirements/capabilities of each duty position in the small combat unit
– Increased Lethality• Weapon sensors provide data that enables cooperative
engagement, networked effects, and updates to the UDOP.• DRS fire control will provide long range geo-location capability• Current TM/TAs with Lightweight Machine Gun & Ammunition
program and the Fused Multi-spectral Weapon Sight– Cooperative engagement
• Modified XM104 will enable cooperative engagement in the small combat unit
– Reduced weight• Integrated sensors will reduce weight, power consumption, and
space claims on the weapon
FFW Weapon Sensors• Activities
– Assess/integrate lethality requirements within Integrated Combat Ensemble.
– Modified XM104 fire control systems provided by PM Individual Weapons/L3 Brashear team. Integrate systems into FFW architecture.
– DRS fire control development through mature componentry for extended range capabilities
– Fused Multispectral Weapon Sight –FMWS leverage from Center for Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate/Northrop Grumman team
