\"\"WASHINGTON \u2014 A top Army civilian predicts the service will field an all-electric fleet of vehicles, and soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIn 10 years, some of our brigade combat teams will be all-electric,\u201d Donald Sando, the Maneuver Center of Excellence\u2019s deputy to the commanding general, told an audience at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual meeting on Wednesday. Sando participated in a panel discussion on innovation in defense manufacturing hosted by Defense News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a generational change. It\u2019s significant; and we\u2019re going to do it; and we\u2019re going to need industry\u2019s help,\u201d Sando said. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of people who say we can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It\u2019s an incredibly lofty goal given the Army\u2019s infrastructure and fleet have long been geared towards gas-powered vehicles and that today\u2019s Army\u2019s not known for embracing and adopting cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Ga., develops future requirements for individual soldiers and the maneuver force.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sando envisioned 75-ton vehicles powered by high-capacity batteries with electric motors capable of being recharged by a10 kilowatt to 50 kilowatt generator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cDoes that mean in 10 years, the Abrams tank will be fully electric? No, we\u2019re going to replace it,\u201d Sando said, adding that tens of thousands of vehicles in the Army\u2019s fleet would be replaced rather than recapitalized.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe institution\u2019s inertia is to recapitalize right now. It makes good business sense, but it\u2019s also making us less relevant on the battlefield,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sando pointed to the\u00a0Next-Gen Combat Vehicle program<\/a>, a prototyping effort underway at the Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center. A seven-year, $700 million contract was recently awarded to an SAIC-led team to produce two prototypes by late 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe need to go to the next-generation squad, and we need to go to the next-generation combat vehicle,\u201d Sando said. \u201cIf they\u2019re not electric or hydroelectric, then I\u2019m wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

General Motors unveiled<\/a>\u00a0an electrical autonomous vehicle, called Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure, or SURUS, at the AUSA expo. Over the last year, GM has been testing another fuel cell platform with the U.S. Army \u2014 its ZH2 hydrogen cell-powered demonstrator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How would electric vehicles fight? Sando acknowledged that to send electric vehicles to an austere country, like Afghanistan, the U.S. Army would have to bring power grid technology to support them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cNo. 1, there is a huge amount of investment that would have to occur in research and development,\u201d said the commander of Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, Maj. Gen. Cedric Wins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Wins suggested the service closely follow and partner with the commercial automotive industry, as it introduces the technology into the market. He said the Army would \u201cnot be a leader but leverage the expertise of industry and what they produce.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIn 15 to 20 years, it\u2018s hard to believe if industry moved in the direction of electric-powered vehicles that the Army would not be somewhere near there,\u201d Wins said. \u201cIts brigade combat team consumes 2,000 gallons of fuel per day. We\u2019ve got to think about other ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
