General Dynamics Business Units to Participate in AUSA 2024

Published

on

RESTON, Va., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Four business units of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) will be among the exhibitors at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) annual meeting and exposition, scheduled for Oct. 14-16 in Washington, D.C.

Following is a list of General Dynamics products and solutions that will be displayed at the event.

GENERAL DYNAMICS LAND SYSTEMS (Booth 703)

Mission Command on the Move: With modern Army command posts (at echelon) being too easily detected and too easily targeted on the modern, drone-saturated battlefield, GD Land Systems is displaying its concept for Mission Command on the Move (MCOTM). The MCOTM solution uses Human-Machine Integration (HMI) to reduce detectable friendly signatures across several spectrums, including visual, thermal, acoustic and electromagnetic. It also eliminates the need for noisy generators, cumbersome tents, extra support vehicles and other logistics burdens that consume valuable resources and manpower.

Featured in the Land Systems booth are three MCOTM-enabling vehicles making their public debuts:

Stryker MCOTM: With increased interior space thanks to a raised roofline, the Stryker MCOTM is the crewed hub that enables protected mission command on a short halt or on the move. Its hybrid-electric drive allows for silent mobility, silent watch and exportable power. It also boasts an integrated Active Protection System, Katalyst Next Generation Electronic Architecture with cyber defense, and individual communication devices for end-to-end secure communications, at echelon. Integrating innovative intra-command post communications helps substantively reduce electromagnetic signatures, enabling the MCTOM command post to “hide in plain sight.”MUTT XM: The newest member of the Land Systems family of Multi-Utility Tactical Transport robotic vehicles, the MUTT XM is bigger, faster and stronger than its predecessors and is hardened against electromagnetic interference. The 8×8 MUTT XM lightens the load as an equipment-carrying “robotic mule” but also has built-in flexibility for a wide variety of combat, combat support and combat service support functions and payloads. At AUSA, it will be outfitted with MIMIC spoofing technology from General Dynamics Mission Systems, providing a deployed layer of protection for the MCOTM command vehicles.TRX Defender: How modular is the Tracked Robot 10-ton (TRX) robotic combat vehicle? It will be displayed with different ground- and air-defense payloads each of the three days at AUSA. Now in its third generation, the latest TRX is the Land Systems entry in the Army Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) competition with a 1:1 ratio for curb weight-to-payload. The TRX AUSA payloads are designed to provide perimeter defense against air and ground threats during an MCOTM operation, unencumbering subordinate units from being tasked for command post defense.

GENERAL DYNAMICS MISSION SYSTEMS (Booth 1003)

Integrated Mission Planning and Airspace Control Tools (IMPACT) demo: The IMPACT demo will show how the IMPACT software suite converges the mission-planning capabilities of the Aviation Mission Planning Systems (AMPS) with the airspace control capabilities of the Tactical Airspace Integration System (TAIS) into a single, role-based, hardware-agnostic, software-centric solution. IMPACT will span command post, mobile/handheld and mounted computing environments, including the Aviation Mission Command Server (AMCS) on aviation platforms and will provide for greater Army, joint and partner nation interoperability.

Smart Munitions: This exhibit will feature a host of key weapon subsystems capabilities comprised of Assured PNT capabilities, Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and guidance electronic units as part of an integrated solution to improve the kill chain for long-range precision fires and associated weapons platforms as well as networked anti-vehicle munition system.
