FCS Manned Ground Vehicles

Together, BAE Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems have formed an integrated design team to develop and demonstrate the FCS Manned Ground Vehicle (MGV) family. Under the contract, BAE Systems has responsibility for five MGV variants:

• Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon
• Infantry Combat Vehicle
• Non-Line-of-Sight Mortar
• Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle
• Medical Vehicle

The MGV variants will be significantly smaller and lighter than the systems they replace. 

The MGV family features a common platform design and unique mission modules with all the variants linked together by networked battle command.

Within the common design team, BAE Systems has the lead in the following areas:

• Software
• Crew Stations
• Propulsion
• Armor
• Survivability
  • Countermeasures
  • Signature Management
  • Defensive Armament

BAE Systems is also responsible for development of the software architecture and development environment for all variants as well as for the common elements of MGV design.
