The deadline to deliver prototypes is June 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These prototypes \u2014 currently regarded as test assets \u2014 are to undergo extreme cold-weather testing and evaluation in Alaska at the Cold Regions Test Center from August through the end of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis will help inform the downselect process for the production contract,\u201d Goddette said. \u201cCurrent plans call for the final downselect for the CATV in the third quarter of [FY22].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program will move directly into production once a winner is chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army needs the CATV quickly to replace its Small Unit Support Vehicle, or SUSV, which is \u201cno longer sustainable,\u201d Goddette said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service also needs modern and capable equipment as the Arctic region becomes increasingly important for military operations. The Army released its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2021\/03\/16\/new-strategy-sets-up-army-to-operate-in-increasingly-relevant-arctic\/\" target=_blank>Arctic strategy<\/a> last month, which stresses the need to modernize and ramp up presence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/your-military\/2019\/05\/06\/northcom-arctic-now-americas-first-line-of-defense\/\" target=_blank>as Russia and China continue to assert dominance in the region <\/a>to pursue their economic and geopolitical goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/01\/21\/army-chief-teases-new-arctic-strategy\/\" target=_blank> strategy outlines how the Army<\/a> will generate, train, organize and equip its forces to partner with allies, secure national interests and maintain regional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CATV is a new-start program in FY21, and its capability development document was signed May 7, 2019. The Army plans to spend $6.6 million for research and development, testing, and evaluation in FY21, and $9.25 million to procure the new vehicles. This includes an $8.25 million congressional plus-up above the service\u2019s budget request as well as $500,000 in foreign comparative testing funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procurement objective is for 110 CATVS, with a total acquisition objective of 163.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CATV \u201cwill provide transportation in extreme cold-weather conditions for up to nine personnel to support emergency medical evacuation, command-and-control capability, and general-cargo transportation,\u201d Goddette said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program office has been working with Army Futures Command to iron out the specifics required for the vehicle, but the effort has been underway for some time \u201cto ensure we understand the requirements\/desired key capabilities for a modernized cold-weather vehicle,\u201d Goddette noted. \u201cThis allows us to execute an accelerated acquisition program to assess, procure, produce, field and sustain such a system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SUSV, which is based on 1960s and 1970s technology and was last procured in the early 1980s, will reach obsolescence in FY23. The CATV will \u201cprovide major operational and logistics advantages over the decades-old [SUSV],\u201d Goddette said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are excited to explore the bounds of the systems we will assess in extreme cold-weather, mountainous and high-altitude environments along with industry when we embark on the soldier touch point\/user evaluation events later this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the Army\u2019s commercial-off-the-shelf and non-developmental item procurement cadre,\u201d he added, \u201cwe look forward to celebrating important milestones like [equipping the first unit] with this once-in-several-generations vehicle procurement program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Army will evaluate two different prototype vehicles capable of operating in extreme cold weather this year.
