OVERVIEW Part of the proposed Future Combat Systems This is one of the family of Manned Gound Vehicle MGV proposed for a lighter and more transportable system in which every member of the family of ground, air, manned, and robotic, systems all report to a network system of systems to allow network centric warfare. It is a system that proposes much but is in trouble with burgoning costs and many questions about the vehicles light weight and vulernability to anti-armor weapons systems. The U.S. Army insists that its light weight will help it avoid rough situations by providing excellent mobility and the ICV will be fitted with an anti-projectile apparatus such as the TROPHY Active Protection System . ICV The ''' Commander; a Platoon Leader; a Rifle Squad ; and a Weapons Squad. All four platform versions have similar exteriors to prevent targeting of a specific ICV versions (e.g., Platoon Leader). The Infantry Platoon includes:
The Rifle Squad ICV and Weapons Squad ICV each deliver 9-person infantry squads to a close battle and support the squad by providing offensive and defensive fire, while carrying the majority of the soldiers' equipment. The ICV can move, shoot, communicate, detect threats, and protect crew and critical components under all Climatic Conditions , day or night. The squad will have access to Army and joint fire delivery systems from external sources (e.g. the Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon ) to enhance the squad's range, precision, or quantity of fire. Networking with other components of the Unit Of Action permits rapid identification of targets and improves Situational Awareness . |
