GVSC & C5ISR hosted an Industry Day focused on a licensing opportunity for the Power Distribution Unit—a versatile networking node that can be vehicle-mounted or ground-emplaced, enabling vehicles to rapidly form a tactical, vehicle-centric microgrid in about two minutes.

GVSC executed a CRADA with Areté to accelerate integration of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) hardware & software onto ground vehicles. Together, we’re equipping Soldiers with advanced EW tools to enhance SA, disrupt enemy command and control, and secure our battlefield comms.

Our Small Autonomous Littoral Transporter project, in partnership with PacMar Technologies, will make water crossings for Soldiers safer and more efficient. This effort is the first step toward a larger system called Robotic Autonomous Powered Transport for Rafting.

The Defense Logistics Agency funded GVSC to reverse engineer a battery box for the Medium Range Thermal Bi-ocular battery using additive manufacturing, resulting in about $1.3M savings over 10 years. The battery is a thermal-imaging device used by the Marines for surveillance.

A contingent of GVSC teams is executing a faster Additive Manufacturing part qualification process for ground systems—cutting down the time it takes to assess, test and qualify AM-produced parts.  As a result, critical components are delivered to the warfighter more quickly.

MCoE's Robert E. Stone, heard about GVSC’s goal to reduce barriers and create pathways that accelerate the adoption of advanced, commercial battery technologies, including drop-in replacements such as the Li-ion 6T, designed to operate in harsh conditions & support fast charging.

GVSC is moving full speed ahead! Earlier this fall, our E-Vetronics Phase 2 Team awarded five new Commercial Solutions Offering contracts to develop a next-generation High-Performance Computer built on the Ground Combat Systems Common Infrastructure Architecture.

Our Advanced Concepts Team met with GM Defense engineers to review how GFI Soldier Accommodation models are being applied to the Infantry Squad Vehicle. The teams talked vision zones, surface reference model outputs, and how these tools help design for Soldiers wearing full gear.

More than 160 industry and government leaders gathered at Selfridge ANG for a powerful Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Focused Technical Exchange. Hosted by GVSC, the event sparked meaningful dialogue on how to accelerate getting innovative capabilities into Soldiers' hands.

The solution to future battlefield water purification may come from the very Soldiers who rely on it most. At a workshop at Fort Carson, Soldiers worked side-by-side with scientists, engineers, and designers to tackle this sustainment challenge. dvidshub.net/news/548162/so…

Our Crew Optimization and Augmentation Technologies program wrapped up its 2-week green suiters hands-on tech evaluation — where combat vehicle crews tested cutting-edge HMD and VMD technologies to enhance closed-hatch SA in executing their driving and threat detection tasks.

One of our SMART students, Parthav Poudel, has been hard at work this summer developing LOOT, short for Linguistically Optimized Operational Teaming -- a cutting-edge project that enables voice-controlled, ground robot coordination using only a drone's live video feed.

Recently at GVSETS, our Chief Scientist Dr. David Gorsich met with graduate students from Clemson University’s automotive engineering program who unveiled Deep Orange 16 — a next-generation, semi-autonomous vehicle designed to transform emergency response in extreme conditions.

During his visit last week, Chris Manning, Deputy ASA for Research and Technology, explored how GVSC is advancing technologies critical to the modernization of the force--from enhancing virtual experimentation to building modular electronic systems and efficient onboard power.

The deadline to register online for our MOSA - Focused Technical Exchange is Sept. 1. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear what MOSA means to GVSC and how the concept is being collectively integrated across GVSC priority areas. sam.gov/workspace/cont…
