Chuggin' Along Today's tank modernization programs give glimpse of the elusive future combat vehicle

Article Abstract:

The US Army is relying on leap-ahead technologies which could have potentials for the development of the Future Combat Vehicle (FCV). In the development of the FCVM, the Army is trying to determine if it will build a revolutionary main battle tank or proceed in an evolutionary process. The most important feature in the development of the FCV is digitalization. In digitalization, tank fleets, crew of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and pilots of Comanche helicopters will have a unified view of operations in their areas of activities.
