PEO Ground Combat Systems

The ASA(ALT)’s PEO Ground Combat Systems (PEO GCS) announced the awarding of five contracts for the Army’s upcoming Self-Propelled Howitzer Performance Demonstration. The Self-Propelled Howitzer Modernization (SPH-M) effort, formerly known as Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA), improves self-propelled howitzer lethality through increased range and increased rate of fire, using mature technology to improve mobility, survivability, reliability, supportability, and lethality.

The Stryker ICVVA1-30mm lethality upgrade program is on target for First Unit Equipped in early 2025. Throughout 2024, the system performed well during Production Verification Testing at Aberdeen Test Center. In May, Soldiers performed gunnery and force-on-force exercises during the Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation at Yakima Training Center. Fieldings are anticipated throughout the next three years. #beallyoucanbe #armymodernization #stryker

The ICVVA1-30mm will replace the predecessor ICVD “Dragoon” vehicle, providing much needed upgrades to decade-old technology. The ICVVA1-30mm offers several improvements, including improved firepower, increased engagement stand-off distances, improved day/night optics, and situational awareness. The ICVVA1-30mm also utilizes the modern base chassis DVHA1, which provides increased horsepower, electrical power, mobility and an in-vehicle network. The Army’s SBCT formations highly anticipate the arrival of the ICVVA1-30mm. #beallyoucanbe #armymodernization #SBCT

#ICYMI: The AMPV MTMS live fire demonstration yesterday at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Moore was a huge success! From children to industry, and civilians and Soldiers from all ranks – it was great to highlight the transformative capability the MTMS has to offer our U.S. Army. Thank you to team for all the hard work they put in to showcase this amazing capability! #beallyoucanbe #armymodernization #AMPV

TOMORROW is the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle Modular Turreted Mortar System live fire demonstration during the Maneuver Warfighter Conference! MTMS will provide Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs) increased lethality, maneuverability and survivability. Looking forward to highlighting this capability to U.S. Army leaders. Can’t attend in person – be sure to stay tuned to our social channels for updates! #beallyoucanbe #armymodernization
