The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to leverage advanced digital engineering, modular open system architectures, software development tools, and rapid prototyping tools and processes to design and deliver technology integrated demonstrators and prototypes for evaluation faster and with less risk than in the past.
The industry partners will be expected to utilize a next generation combat vehicle as a surrogate to:
- provide a common approach of implementing new digital tools and agile processes that can help eliminate multiple design changes and integration challenges
- prove the feasibility for new advanced systems integration methods and tools that can be applied to other commercial and military platforms in a manner that maximizes full system security, interoperability, reliability, and safety.
Phase III will continue the development of mobility and lethality prototypes and will additionally leverage human factor engineering tools and processes. In addition, this phase’s work will support development of full system prototypes and focus on full system integration as well as validation / verification of system architecture and subsystem hardware components.
