Where the FCS systems are today 330 $aThe Future Combat Systems (FCS) program was the largest and most ambitious planned acquisition program in the Army's history. The FCS was intended to field not just a system, but an entire brigade, a system of systems, with novel technologies integrated by means of an advanced wireless network. Moreover, the FCS-equipped brigade would operate with new doctrine that was being developed and tested along with the materiel components of the unit. The FCS was central to Army modernization plans. In 2009, the FCS program was cancelled, and some of its efforts transitioned to follow-on programs. In 2010, the Army's Acquisition Executive asked RAND Arroyo Center to conduct an after-action analysis of the FCS program in order to leverage its successes and learn from its problems. This report documents the program's history and draws lessons from multiple perspectives, including the conditions leading up to the program, requirements generation and development, program management and execution, and technologies. 606 $aArmored vehicles, Military$zUnited States 606 $aSystems engineering$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aTechnological innovations$zUnited States$xManagement 615 0$aArmored vehicles, Military 615 0$aSystems engineering$xManagement. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xManagement 676 $a355.62120973 700 $aPernin$b Christopher G.$f1973-$01235434 712 02$aArroyo Center 712 02$aUnited States.$bArmy 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220122603321 996 $aLessons from the Army's Future Combat Systems program$92878898 997 $aUNINA
