- Brig. Gen. Ross Coffman, US Army, lead for the Next Generation Combat Vehicles Cross Functional Team at US Army Futures Command, discusses the service's future armored vehicles, the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle program, autonomous systems, new technologies and hybrid propulsion with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian at the Association of the United States Army’s 2019 annual meeting in Washington, DC. Our AUSA coverage is sponsored by GM Defense, Bell, L3Harris and Leonardo DRS.
hey wow, awesome interview
Good report on "Next-Generation Combat Vehicles"
The only thing missing was showing some "Next-Generation Combat Vehicles".
Japan is committed to US military purchases
GM Defence.. Excellent, they will be a great partner to assist with manufacturing of various vehicles ..
Man this is smelling like kick back
Laser guns on our next gen tanks, you heard it here first folks!
Laser guns on tanks.....been hearing that for the last 30 years.
USMC working with Army?
A combat drone or robot operating in a designated battle zone could be given some autonomy to use lethal force to defend itself if attacked since waiting for a human to make the final decision to fire or not could endanger it's survival.
Should put the contract requests out again!
The US Army has a competition for the Bradley replacement which consists of one vehicle.😂😂😂😂 I wonder which one they will pick? Three years later..."This project is 600% over budget and the vehicle is useless, we're going with the other option....oh".
There are several prototypes looked at the Army will it down to two they set a date a reasonable date of when they want to see the 1st working prototype for testing General Dynamics delivered theres on time and Raytheon did not. Part of selecting a vehicle is the logistics and the confidence of logistics of the company to deliver said vehicle if Raytheon cannot deliver one vehicle on time the US Army has no reason to assume the Raytheon can deliver 4000 vehicles on time and in good working order. Logistics is something that lot of armchair generals seem to forget this is why the F-22 was chosen out over the "superior" yf-23 is because of logistics and Airforce confidence in the company of providing the aircraft.
@@madkabal This is the same procurement philosophy that produced the F-35. Twenty-seven years in development and 500% over-budget. Was the Pentagon really confident about Lockheed-Martin too?
@@karlp8484 the X-32 you're referring to did not even fulfill the initial requirements.
@@@madkabal @Karl P problem is the model that become inverted, brains should be on the common good (aka government) not in the private hands (aka ownership), the research produced by that brilliant minds wold be put for work for the common good; defense, health and academic field. The private to have access to this technologies wold have to pay a license. That's why above I state; health and academic field.
If you invert, like this one, not only you waste tons of resources, but you actually slowdown all society development because that is not the propose. Private can win doing very well compartmentalized tasks, but never a overall or even research on "defense" (defense is a word that can be replaced by)
Hmm....no Rheinmetal....interesting. Thanks Vargs.
2020-2029 is the time to update the whole US Military, to carry the military confidently into 2050
Army Air-Power is the future of combat vehicles! The Army can have everything that isn’t a fighter jet or a secret spaceship fighter and the Air Force get’s Space Command. Thats how the future should look for the Army.
The army is aspirational over the air ☁☁

Concentrated networked fires, mobility and forces protection - no Wunderwaffe here 📍

...recharging capabilities is just a valuable optimizable variable fuel cant accomplish...÷< unless we talk about water air, liquid, fusion fision, etc etc...÷
oh come on... Raytheon should be allowed to bid... it is way to big a project to knock out Raytheon

Super interview, but the General is wrong on one point. It will be long before 2035 that we can have computers driving a tank off-road very well. It should be possible to apply deep reinforcement learning using videogames as input to train these systems. AI is not just about these neural network software algorithms, it's also about the data which in this case would be driving scenarios such as a tank going through steep, rocky terrain. AI needs difficult challenges to learn from. It mastered Go and many other games already. They can be taught to drive, and find suspicious objects, and anything else you specify as worthwhile. It should also be possible to build AI into tanks to help prevent them from flipping over while being driven by humans, etc.
There is a lot of innovation around the free PyTorch neural network. There are gaming algorithms in that ecosystem to apply to tank driving. The AI needs a tank simulator game to be fed with scenarios. There are probably multiple tank simulators used by the US military. If you make a complete set of training scenarios today, you could have autonomous tanks tomorrow. The training uses lots of processing power, but you should be able to run AI simulations in real time on a laptop.
Elementary, we dont have to recharge, we have to exchange, and i can exchange a battery faster, more effectively and efficiently than you can refuel...LoJesusL÷
It would take another 50 tons of battery weight to get the same range as a diesel.
@@hillbillysceptic1982 a good electric motor wont mind the weight of batteries to keep it going 2000 miles...almost clean almost quiet... #TheyveBeenSmallForAwhile÷
James Pauley The point is not the motor the vehicle would be too heavy to go thru any type of softer terrain and easily targeted because of its size. A death trap.

Sounds like the making of another Pentagon Wars......LOL:) Just look at the Boxer or one of the other aweosme european vehicles and get a contract to build it here.
Military Vehicles must be driven by human soldiers, not killer robots. Armored vehicles must be modified and not unnecessarily replaced!
Hahaha the army is a joke. One vehicle competition

Wonder if he got a medal for this interview. The Russians and Americans sure like medals and badges.
