Future Combat Systems Medical Vehicle
- Future Combat Systems Medical Vehicle
The Future Combat Systems Medical Vehicle is part of the United States Army's Future Combat Systems programme. The Medical Vehicle is one of the family of Manned Ground Vehicle MGV proposed for a lighter and more transportable system in which every member of the family of ground, air, manned, and robotic, systems all report to a network system of systems to allow network centric warfare. It is a system that proposes much but is in trouble with burgeoning costs and has raised many questions about the vehicle's light weight and vulernability to anti-armor weapons systems. It is hoped that advances in materials technology in the near future will provide the Medical Vehicle and the other vehicles of the FCS programme with lightweight armour capable of providing due protection without adding significantly to the total weight.
Future Combat Systems Medical Vehicle
The FCS Medical Vehicle is designed to provide advanced trauma life support within 1 hour to critically injured soldiers. The Medical Vehicle serves as the primary medical system within the Unit of Action (UA) and will have two mission modules: Evacuation and Treatment. The time-sensitive nature of treating critically injured soldiers requires an immediately responsive force health protection system with an expedient field evacuation system. The XM1207 FCS Medical Vehicle-Evacuation (MV-E) vehicle allows trauma specialists, maneuvering with combat forces, to be closer to the casualty’s point-of-injury and is used for casualty evacuation. The XM1208 Medical Vehicle-Treatment (MV-T) vehicle enhances the ability to provide Advanced Trauma Management (ATM)/Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) treatments and procedures forward for more rapid casualty interventions and clearance of the battlespace. Both FCS Medical Vehicle mission modules will be capable of conducting medical procedures and treatments using installed networked telemedicine interfaces, Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care and the Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP).
