This project was originally titled the Hybrid Electric Combat Vehicle (HECV); hence the title on the cover. It was subsequently named the Combat Hybrid Power System (CHPS) project and is so-called hereafter. This paper presents two different analyses of the vehicle performance characteristics of the CHPS. The first used a panel of military subject matter experts to examine the validity of CHPS performance requirements. The second ran virtual exercises using the Modular Semi-Automated Forces (ModSAF) model to gain insight into the relative effectiveness of a CHPS system in conducting Army After Next (AAN) combat missions. Results from the SME Requirements Analysis survey indicate that currently CHPS cross country speeds may be too high for crew safety and command and control reasons. Results of the ModSAF study suggest that the CHPS may prove to be more mobile, survivable, and lethal in an Army After Next battlefield than other candidate systems.
