The GSTAMIDS-FCS spiral development program offers the best-of-industry technologies in successive blocks, allowing PM CM & EOD to field a near-term capability while pursuing solutions to the greater technical challenges to vehicle-mounted mine detection. In support of the Engineer School’s Assured Mobility Concept in forward areas, the Brigade Combat Team will need to conduct countermine operations. GSTAMIDS-FCS, installed on two Multifunction Utility/Logistics Equipment (MULE) countermine vehicles, will detect and mark mines, temporarily mark the lane and bypass or neutralize AT mines along a 4-meter path on primary and secondary roads at a speed of 5-15 kph. The MULEs will be remotely controlled by a manned ground vehicle and will proceed forward at maximum speed to a region of interest (ROI) as defined by situational awareness, perform its mission, then proceed to the next ROI.
