This soldier-in-the-loop evaluation, part of Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center's (TARDEC's) ongoing hit-avoidance research effort, used a simulated prototype Vehicle Integrated Defense System (VIDS) as its conceptual protection system. VIDS is composed of a system of sensors and countermeasures and a counterfire system regulated by an artificial intelligence module to assist the operator to defend the vehicle. Platoon combat survivability and lethality while using the M1 tank with and without VIDS was examined. Research objectives were to (a) determine if VIDS enhanced platoon combat operational effectiveness, (b) determine the optimal VIDS configuration, (c) identify future training requirements and soldier-machine interface issues, and (d) identify impacts on tactics, techniques, and procedures. Four platoons operated baseline M1s and four progressively arrayed VIDS-configured tanks in repeated realistic combat engagements in bi-weekly evaluation sessions. Findings indicated VIDS-equipped platoons survived significantly better and progressive additions of sensors and countermeasures enhanced platoon survivability.
