Dear Reader:

The Army Acquisition, Logistics and Technology community is charged to perform a vital mission to
provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage in any mission by developing, acquiring, fielding, and
sustaining the worlds best equipment and services and leveraging technologies and capabilities to
meet current and future Army needs. Soldiers are the decisive edge. We provide them with leading-edge
technologies and advanced capabilities to dominate in our current operations across the battlespace while
simultaneously preparing to respond decisively to future threats.

This annual publication describes how we are accomplishing our mission and highlights our major
acquisition programs. You will learn what each program is designed to achieve for our Soldiers and the
programs status. Furthermore, you will learn about the contractors involved, teaming arrangements, and
critical interdependencies with other programs and fielded systems. In addition, this handbook augments
several key publications that characterize the strategic context for our work, including the 2010 Army
Posture Statement, the 2010 Army Modernization Strategy, and our Science and Technology Master Plan.

Our comprehensive modernization program reflects an overarching vision to meet the equipping demands of
our Soldiers by developing and fielding an affordable and interoperable mix of the best equipment available
for success in both todays and tomorrows full spectrum military operations. It encompasses strategic
relevance, complexity, innovation, and interconnectedness of the products and systems that we are
delivering to our men and women in uniform. We are also working to institutionalize wartime innovations
to better enable success in todays wars while ensuring that our forces are prepared for a complex future.

Americas Soldiers are our most precious resource. They are at the center of all that we accomplish and the
focus of all our plans. We are dedicated to meeting their needs around the clock and around the world. As
you reference this publication and learn more about the Acquisition, Logistics and Technology community
and our major acquisition programs, you will understand that our top priority is to ensure Americas
Soldiers are the decisive edge. We will never let them down.

operations. This is accomplished by capturing lessons
learned from the range of combat to include close combat
and improved explosive devices (IEDs). The Army must
develop and field new capabilities or sustain, improve,
or divest current systems based on operational value,
capabilities shortfalls, and available resources. These
decisions are based on the principles identified in the
Armys Modernization and Equipping Strategies and
are influenced by the results of detailed deliberations
within the Armys maturing Capability Portfolio Reviews
(CPRs). These, in turn, will be influenced by the
requirement for Operational Adaptability contained in
the 2010 Army Operating Concept.

PATH FORWARD
The Army is preparing for a strategic environment
characterized by persistent conflict and the resilience of
ruthless, determined, and adaptive adversaries. These
challenges form the basis of our requirement to modernize.
Continuous modernization is key to transforming Army
capabilities and maintaining a technological advantage
over our adversaries across the full spectrum of conflict.
ASA(ALT) has received extraordinary funding support
through wartime Overseas Contingency Operations funds,
but they have only enabled us to sustain the current fight.
ASA (ALT) looks forward to continued Congressional support
to achieve its broad modernizationgoals.
The systems listed in this book are not isolated, individual

the future able to deal successfully with the challenges it will
face. Each system and capability is important. These systems

Target Location Designation System


This ATO demonstrates an improved, man-portable, target acquisition and
laser designation system with reduced size, weight, and power. This ATO
provides: (1) an improved mid-wave IR focal plane array; (2) a common
designator module using end-pumped, mono-block laser technology; and (3)
precision target location through an improved global positioning, gyroscope,
and magnetometer. The results of this effort will demonstrate to the warfighter
improvements in real-time target acquisition, precision target location, and
laser designation capabilities that increase combat effectiveness and lethality.
The overall result will be an increased target acquisition range that provides
greater standoff range and increased Soldier survivability, while the reduced
weight will achieve greater Soldier mobility.

IRON Symphony
The IRON Symphony ATO defines and develops a next-generation Army Electronic
Warfare (EW) networking capability, based on an integrated and distributed
EW framework, to enable the coordinated detection, geolocation, reporting, and
engagement of multiple diverse threat waveforms. Most current EW systems
are designed to mitigate a single threat waveform. Multiple threats force the
development of multiple systems, resulting in a rapid escalation of interoperability
and spectral de-confliction issues. The robust proliferation and simultaneous use
of modern communication threats, as well as the complexity of the threat signals
themselves, have created an environment where the use of individualized solutions
is no longer feasible.

Flexible Display Technology for Soldiers and Vehicles


This ATO develops flexible display technologies for affordable, lightweight,
rugged, low-power, and reduced-volume displays in conjunction with the
development of human factors parameters for systems utilizing flexible displays.
Flexible displays have reduced weight and are inherently rugged with ultra-
low power electro-optic technologies, compared with traditional liquid-crystal, Figure 7: Flexible Display Technology for Soldiers and Vehicles
glass-based displays. The development of displays on flexible substrates enables
novel applications that cannot be achieved by glass-based technologies (e.g.,
wearable and conformal for Soldier applications, conformal for vehicle and
cockpit applications, and compact display that can be rolled out for multiuser
applications). This ATO program is coordinated with human factors studies to
optimize design trade-offs and will produce flexible, four-inch diagonal displays
(greater than 320 x 240 resolution), as well as technology for color emissive
and reflective displays. Benefits to the warfighter include a 60 percent weight
reduction of display components compared to glass displays, and a 30 to 90
percent power reduction compared to liquid crystal displays.

Collaborative Battlespace Reasoning and Awareness
The Collaborative Battlespace Reasoning and Awareness ATO develops and
demonstrates multiplatform, cross community applications and software services
that support the integration and synchronization of intelligence and operations
functions through the design, development, and implementation of information
interoperability, and through collaborative management and decision-support
technologies. This ATO also develops and demonstrates systems that will improve
mission execution success by providing software to more tightly couple operations
and intelligence and to better facilitate collaboration. Research and development
is focused on mapping intelligence and geospatial information requirements to
military tasks. This effort enables faster and higher quality decision cycles and
increased battle command unification through collaboration and real-time sharing,
exploitation, and analysis of information to support the operational mission, tasks,
and desired effects.

RF Adaptive Technologies Integrated with Communications and Location Figure 8: RF Adaptive Technologies Integrated with Communications and Location (RADICAL)
This ATO develops and demonstrates Radio Frequency (RF) dynamic spectrum
technologies for tactical communications and improved position determination
in Global Positioning System (GPS)-degraded environments (Figure 8). The
ATO efforts include the development of a software module that enables spectrum
policy management for dynamic spectrum access-enabled radios, architecture
to integrate and enhance disruption tolerant networking (DTN) in the tactical
environment, and a software module that improves position determination
based on net-assisted GPS and RF ranging technologies. This ATO builds upon
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Wireless Network
After Next (WNAN) program to provide consistent dynamic spectrum policy
management using software implementation, ensure reliable message delivery in
a disruptive communications environment by enhancing and extending the DTN
technology into tactical networks, mitigate multipath interference through RF

LETHALITY
Advanced Lasers and Unmanned Aerial System Payloads
This ATO develops, integrates, and demonstrates a seven-pound advanced sensor
payload with laser rangefinding and laser designating capabilities to address the
reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition mission requirements for the
BCT Class I unmanned aerial system (UAS). Under this ATO, new multifunction
lightweight lasers, optical receiver components, and electronics suitable for UAS
and other Soldier applications are developed. The new laser components will be
integrated with a compact, small-pixel, uncooled IR imaging sensor into a two-
axis pointing platform (gimbal) to enable an airborne organic laser designation
capability for the lower echelon warfighter. The advanced lasers and UAS sensor
payload will enable Soldiers to quickly see and characterize potential targets as
well as nontarget objects that are in the open or in complex and urban terrain, and
support beyond-line-of-sight situational awareness, targeting, and engagement
with precision weapons. A parallel Manufacturing Technology effort seeks to
develop an optimized manufacturing process for a universal, monoblock laser
designator module component that can be integrated into a wide variety of laser
applications.

MEDICAL
Psychological Resetting after Combat Deployment: Advanced Battlemind
This ATO develops and validates an advanced unit-training program to reduce
combat-related psychological problems, including symptoms related to mild
traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during
the post-deployment resetting phase. The goal of this effort is to facilitate
recovery from psychological injuries related to combat, build individual and unit
resilience in preparation for subsequent deployments, reduce the incidence of
debilitating symptomatic problems, and reduce risk-taking behaviors that have
the greatest impact on a Soldiers mental health, well-being, relationships, and
job performance. An in-depth, six-session training package will be developed that
integrates state-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral approaches to traumatic stress,
while maintaining the focus on Soldier strengths, unit cohesion, leadership
skills, and individual cognitive skill building. The package incorporates cognitive
education strategies shown to be effective in reducing symptoms from mTBI,
which often overlaps with PTSD. Finally, this ATO benchmarks key deployment-
related behavioral health reactions and develops and validates novel approaches
to assessing the psychological transition home following a combat deployment in
order to determine the effectiveness of the proposed early intervention.

BASIC RESEARCH 1 Autonomous SystemsExtending the operational effectiveness of Soldiers


through robotic systems
A major military objective is to totally frustrate and defeat our adversaries
across a wide spectrum of conflicts while dramatically increasing the
survivability of our Soldiers by keeping them out of harms way. Autonomous
systems of extraordinary capability can fulfill this objective; however, they must
be completely safe and secure while operating in highly complex operational
environments. Achieving such levels of capability will require significant
investments in highly sophisticated sense, response, and processing systems
approaching that of biological systems; major advances in artificial intelligence;
the development of intelligent agents approaching human performance levels;
and advances in machine learning, swarming, and actuation and control.
