Logistics and Engineer Equipment - Eng Dev

The Logistics and Engineer Equipment - Eng Dev program focuses on advancing logistics and engineering equipment for the Army. This initiative includes projects such as the Engine Driven Gen Ed, which aims to provide adaptable and efficient electrical power sources. These sources support network modernization, lethality, long-range precision fires, and air & missile defense. The program also supports Tactical Electric Power systems by developing a modernized family of Mobile Electric Power systems. These systems encompass generating sources, distribution systems, storage systems, and management systems for all Department of Defense services.

The Maneuver Support Vessel project is designed to enhance Dynamic Force Repositioning capabilities by providing access to multiple entry points via littorals and inland waterways. This project supports the development of vessels like the Maneuver Support Vessel (Light) and Maneuver Support Vessel (Heavy), which are crucial for sustaining forces within anti-access/area denial environments. The MSV(L) prototype will undergo testing to ensure it meets operational requirements. Meanwhile, the MSV(H) is being developed to enable intra-theater movement of combat-loaded forces.

The Ultra-Lightweight Camouflage Net System project aims to improve survivability against multi-spectral threats by developing camouflage systems that provide thermal signature suppression and solar reduction capabilities. The focus is on modernizing current camouflage net systems with technology insertions that reduce detection from threat sensors. This initiative also involves developing prototypes to refine operational requirements and gather user feedback for future enhancements.

The Tactical Bridging - Engineering Development project supports the development and testing of future force bridge systems and improvements to existing ones. Efforts include the Line of Communication Bridge and Family of Higher Military Load Classification Bridges, which aim to support increased weights of armored combat vehicles across various bridging systems. The project also involves prototyping new systems within the Bridging portfolio to enhance Army engineering capabilities.
