The Army initiative to transition to a new modular force took a step forward late last year with the first comprehensive public demonstration of several Future Combat Systems (FCS) technologies at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The demonstrations included flights of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), live firings of the 120mm Breach-Loaded Mortar, 120mm Light-Weight Cannon and, via video feed from Yuma Proving Ground, AZ, the 155mm Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C). The events also included in-the-field demonstrations of the Stryker Leader-Follower, the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV) and the Manned Ground Vehicle Chassis Testbed.
