March 16th-18th, 2015 • Detroit, Michigan The Next Generation of Survivability Vehicles Dear Colleague, Sequestration. Budget Cuts. Uncertainty. These are words that are interjected into every discussion about the future of military projects. Platforms and systems as critical as the very vehicles that move our Warfighters around the battlefield are no different. Multiple projects and vehicle systems have been cancelled or have never come to full fruition over the last several years. There is good news though. We are moving forward again. There are some challenges though, such as: ·· Identifying “best value” components is difficult to define The JPO, JLTV will Develop, Acquire and Field the Family of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, while optimizing the legacy HMMWV fleet, in order to provide capability and flexibility to the Joint Warfighter across the full spectrum of military options for the next 30 years and beyond. ·· Assessing the full spectrum of sub contractor capabilities is easier said than done ·· and, speed to market is essential as conflicts abroad percolate What does this mean for us? It means that the Army and Marine Corps are going shopping for a completely new vehicle packages. From the weapons to the tires, the paint to the bolts. Everything is new. And who is going to supply these new parts? Who is going to challenge the existing tactical vehicle mold and come up with a new system that revolutionizes the battlefield? Is it you? This summit is the perfect opportunity to foster that free exchange of ideas and philosophies that leads to the marvelous innovations that protect our Warfighters on a daily basis. To present solutions to the individuals who can make sure it ends up exactly where it needs to be: the Warfighters hands. To this end, we will hear from Subject Matter Experts, Engineers, Project Managers, and Senior Leadership from within the Military. The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) is the proposed United States Army program for replacement of the M113 Family of Vehicles (FOV) to mitigate current and future capability gaps in force protection, mobility, reliability, and interoperability by mission role variant within the Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) Whether you are in the Military, work heavily in the tactical vehicle industry, or just have a peripheral interest in Tactical Vehicles.

From the introduction of the HMMWV to the requirements set forth for the current Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Program (JLTV), requirements can be difficult to understand without first understanding why the requirements were originally put into place. The following topics will be covered in more depth: ·· Introduction of the HMMWV ·· Move to the MRAP and M-ATV ·· Original Requirements for the JLTV COL Marc Mueller Director Training and Doctrine Command Capability Manager for Transportation In this session we will examine the role of the MRAP vehicle in current conflicts, as well as how it revolutionized the battlefield when initially produced. Furthermore, we will dive into the long term role of this vehicle in future conflicts versus the role of smaller vehicle packages. In this session we will cover: ·· History of the MRAP ·· Variants of the MRAP ·· Future role in global conflicts COL Craft Program Manager Mine Resistant Ambush Proof Vehicles U.S. Army Overview of ABBS Advanced Protection Systems One of them most common and deadliest of threats to Warfighters on the move are the unseen IEDs. This brief will give an overview of the range of Active Protection Systems. These systems either directly attack an incoming threat to prevent it becoming effective, or which actively counteract and hence mitigate the effects of a threat, followed by a more detailed description of the new technologies which will shortly become available in the USA/Canada. The relevance of these technologies to armored vehicle design, especially large APC’s, LTV’s, SUV’s and Lightweight Special Forces vehicles will be demonstrated, and how basic armored vehicle designs need to change to maximize the potential benefits available will be outlined. We will be introduced to such topics as: ·· The DREHTAINER Zero Shock® technology which protects against the initial shock and floor deformation effects of under-belly mines or IED’s. ·· The Advanced Blast & Ballistic Systems Ltd. VGAM (Vehicle Global Acceleration Mitigation) and VAFS (Vehicle Armored Floor Stabilization) systems which directly counteract under-belly mine/ IED effects, and the use of the VGAM system in combination with DREHTAINER’s Zero Shock technology.

Our Duty: Assessment of New Blast Mine Resistant Ambush Proof Vehicles 11:15 5 Keynote: Evolution of the Light Tactical Vehicle Networking Luncheon BravoZulu Services novel technology (ZuluShield Panel) was initially investigated for the nations Space Program and further developed to mitigate both fragmentation and blast threats. An independent assessment of this panel technology was lead by GTD Engineering during an underbody blast environment (UBBE) and a controlled blast wall scenario. During UBBE testing the panel protected vehicle was able to significantly reduce seat rail accelerations, the effective impulse experienced by the vehicle, and floor pan intrusion, which all translated to significantly reduced mortality due to predicted severe lower limb and pelvic injury. However, there remains a risk of cervical injury in unrestrained vehicle personnel. Controlled testing showed significantly decreased load transfer to the panel mount, reduced static and reflected pressures as well as reduced oscillation magnitudes explaining the reduced impulse during vehicle testing. Experimental details and results will be discussed. Dr. Geoffrey Thor Desmoulin Ph.D., R.Kin. President and Senior Engineer GTD Engineering 16:00 Alternate Vehicle Programs-Future Fighting Vehicle (FFV) As the landscape of the battlefield changes, so do the procurement and vehicle packages that accompany the battlefield. The Future Fighting Vehicle is the successor to the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) and promises to deliver next generation results.

This vehicles mission is primary to be airdropped into enemy territory and secure an objective using speed and mobility, rather then dense armor and offensive weaponry. Specifically we will address: ·· An analysis of the risks and rewards of sacrificing armor for mobility ·· Proposed utilization for the ULCV on the battlefield ·· How to successfully integrate airdropped vehicles into the combat operating picture LTC Kevin Parker Light Systems Branch Chief, Mounted Requirements US Army Maneuver Center of Excellence 09:30 GD Presents: The Flyer 10:15 Morning Networking & Refreshment Break 11:00 Introducing: The Spartan 11:45 Right the First Time: Designing for the Battlefield Requirements for the modern military tactical vehicle are comprehensive, but leave room for significant creativity to create a design of the soldier/vehicle interface that is best in class. A tactical vehicle’s performance can be significantly degraded if it’s most important sub-system (the soldier) is not optimally integrated. This discussion centers on how to maximize your organizations’ assets to achieve this goal. COL (R) Robert “Rocky” Kmiecik Former Director of Mounted Requirements Division US Army Maneuver Center of Excellence 13:30 Mr. Patrick Maloney Executive Director of Government Relations Ballistic Applications & Materials International LLC 14:15 Afternoon Networking & Refreshment Break 14:45 Army’s Combat Vehicle Modernization Strategy The Army is currently sees a requirement for three distinct lightweight combat vehicles in maneuver formations. An Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle, a Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and a Light Tank. These distinctly different capabilities are intended initially to enable the Infantry Brigade Combat Team to execute forcible entry operations, but may have far more broad application. As the new Army Operating Concept outlines a need for greater expeditionary maneuver capability, expressed as scalable/tailorable force packages, so we must seek the right combinations of different light weight platforms. We also see the need for horizontal technological insertions across platforms to generate greater capability for maneuver formations.
