WHERE: Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C. • Booth 1021: General Dynamics Land Systems • Booth 1017: General Dynamics Mission Systems

SOLUTIONS DEMONSTRATED:

General Dynamics Land Systems

• Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV): Our team at Modern Day Marine will be able to discuss breakthroughs with the transformational ARV capabilities being developed for the Marine Corps.

• Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Electrical System Modification (ESM) kit: The LAV ESM kit enables increased vehicle power with minimal impact to the baseline electrical system. Featuring a more powerful alternator, the LAV ESM includes Land Systems’ high-powered distribution unit for increased power distribution.

• Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT): The robotic wheeled MUTT will be on display in the booth at Modern Day Marine. MUTT has proved to be a rugged, reliable, V-22-transportable small-unit force multiplier that provides increased persistence, protection and projection of combat power. MUTT is a semi-autonomous robotic platform that reduces physical burden on Marines and can be equipped with an array of modular mission payloads. The MUTT uses unique methods of control, such as the Dismount Following Tether (DFT) or the easy-to-use One-Handed Controller, which minimize Marines’ physical and cognitive loads during missions. The MUTT was selected by the U.S. Army in July 2020 for the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) program, and production deliveries begin in 2022.

General Dynamics Mission Systems
• Small Form Factor Command & Control Node (SFF C2): As the “ready now” solution for the Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations command and control, the Marine Corps has conducted numerous experiments and user assessments of the Small Form Factor Command and Control (SFF C2) node. The SFF C2 provides the Marine Corp virtualized, platform agnostic, highly deployable C2 nodes that are COTS-based and designed to military standards with battle-tested hardware capabilities. The SFF C2 integrates customer developed software architectures and proven enablers to scale to any mission need.

• Marine Corps Live Training: The Training, Testing, & Efficiency Solutions business area at General Dynamics Mission Systems is a key partner with the Marine Corps in modernizing its training base as the Marines pivot their operational focus as outlined in Force Design 2030. Our goal is to provide the Marine Corps increased training effectiveness and optimization of their training dollars and training hours through the CPM Plus contract. Examples include federating existing Marine Corps individual, collective and staff training simulations, force-on-force training, and training range scenario development.

• Battle Management Demonstration: Mission Systems will feature a live demonstration of its battle management applications that empower tactical leaders to efficiently analyze, plan, rehearse, execute, and review strategic operations. Backed by an innovative, resilient network solution, our GeoSuite solutions utilizes an intuitive map-centric interface including unique multimedia tools, advanced planning capabilities, and visualizations specifically focused on the operational environment. With a focus on rapid dissemination and sharing of critical information, GeoSuite delivers real-time actionable intelligence and situational data in Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited (DIL) environments.

• Electronic Warfare: Mission Systems will feature a selection of its electronic warfare products that provide users with the capability to quickly detect, locate and identify a wide range of signals in the electromagnetic spectrum to quickly deliver the right information at the right time for situational awareness. The Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) is a dedicated all-weather, 24-hour, ground tactical electronic support and electronic attack system that provides the commander with options to create multiple dilemmas to a designing enemy by decreasing the sensor to shooter timeline.

• Common Hardware Systems-5 (CHS-5): Common Hardware Systems-5 (CHS-5) provides U.S. military customers rapid, affordable access to a wide range of COTS computing and network equipment for tactical operations. General Dynamics provides technical assistance and logistics support for a wide range of services, from the rapid repair and replacement of equipment at strategically located Regional Support Centers, to the deployment of field service personnel to CHS-5 user locations worldwide. Available to all military services and across the federal government, CHS-5 contract is a “one stop shop” for tactical IT hardware solutions that now features a new Basic Purchase Option for greater ease of use.

• GPS Source Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (APNT) and GPS Data Transmission: APNT and GPS signal retransmission solutions such as the Mounted Assured PNT (MAPS GEN-1) solution and the ECHO-II Smart Repeater provide critical timing and position data in GPS denied and degraded environments. MAPS GEN-1, based on the GPS Source SENTRySCOUT™ system, provides valid and APNT data, independent of the availability or integrity of GPS signals. The core of the MAPS GEN-1 system, the ED3 PNT Hub, is widely utilized in a variety of ground vehicle applications and is the lead platform for Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) making the ED3 your path to M-Code. MAPS GEN-1 is currently being fielded by the Army and the next generation of APNT system is currently in development. When GPS indoor transmission is the primary concern, the ECHO-II is a reliable signal repeater ideal for ground vehicles, aircraft, and buildings when time-to-first-fix is critical.

• TACDS – Tactical Cross Domain Solutions: Fast, efficient, real-time data transfer is essential to the multi-domain battle. TACDS brings safe and secure information sharing to the tactical edge, now supporting multiple streams of high definition (HD), full-motion video (FMV) transfer along with dozens of message formats. As a small size, weight and power, tamper-resistant cross domain solution, TACDS is ideal for vehicle, mobile shelter, ground sensor system, aircraft, UAV, and soldier-worn applications. Assessed and accredited against NSA’s Raise the Bar requirements, TACDS brings security to mission communications across all domains.
