9Moving from Invention to Innovation
- Traditional invention model
- The need for Innovation
- Horizontal Integration
- Innovation from SMEs
- Skunk Works approach
- The upcoming war for talent
- The numbers
- Unlocking innovation for the Millennial
generation
10BattPack
- Dismounted Soldiers can be expected to carry as
much as 40 pounds of batteries to support
mission-essential equipment - Portable, rechargeable power wherever a Soldier
needs it - Built for the field water resistant, shock
vibe-proof, EMP protected - Capable of
- Jumpstarting military vehicles
- Recharging military vehicle batteries /
recharged from a military vehicle - Powering standard 28 VDC Military electronic
equipment - Accepts wide range AC or DC for recharge, from
both civilian and military power sources - Multiple units can be interconnected to boost
power energy storage - Meets two-person lift-and-carry requirements
11Rapid Prototype . . . Concept to Warfighter
- Adopted a Systems Engineering approach to
define turret subsystems - No Lockheed Martin hardware on the turret
- Used the LMUK INSYS Rapid Prototyping
capability to build the LM WFLIP turret
demonstrator and integrated key subsystems - 33 weeks to live fire
- 52 weeks to manned firing (Exceeded Warrior SRD
Objective Accuracy Requirement) - Assembled a world class supply chain and brought
world class partnering skills Worked
interactively to reduce interface issues - Matured and integrated the WFLIP Electronic
Architecture - Developed a high fidelity dynamic simulation to
optimise system performance and conduct trades - Modeled WR Base Overhaul Process to demonstrate
how the planned upgrade could be incorporated
into the Warrior Base Overhaul process

15- CC Provides Unprecedented Capability in Hands of
FBCT Dismounted Soldier - CC is a Single, Common Device to Remotely
Control 17 Manned / Unmanned Systems - Accesses FCS Battlefield Network, Provides
Dismounted Soldier with Situational Awareness

16- Light Forces are the First Ones Sent to the Point
of Action. Their Equipment Must be Deployable and
Flexible. - Squad Mission Support System (SMSS) is Designed
to Give Units a Highly Transportable, Mission
Configurable System That Will Ease the Burden of
the Soldier. - The SMSS can Carry Ammunitions, Weapons,
Explosives, Heavy Equipment (Such as Additional
Robots), Medical Supplies, and Camouflage, Cover,
and Concealment Materials. - Sling Load UH-60, V-22, and CH-47 Transportable.
- The SMSS Will not Change a Units Missions or its
Tactics. It Will Enhance its Ability to Execute
Both.
