U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center

GVSC remains at the forefront of support to Army’s readiness through our aggressive pursuit of advanced manufacturing, including additive manufacturing technologies. Army experts here are refining a materials process to replace damaged ground vehicle parts more quickly, reducing vehicle down-time in formations and returning to the fight. #forgethefuture https://lnkd.in/e_MP2c6A

We are honored to receive two Modeling & Simulation awards from the Center for Army Analysis. GVSC’s Modeling and Simulations teams are prioritizing the integration of Digital Engineering and Model-based Systems Engineering constructs of the Army’s ground vehicles into our virtual environment. #forgethefuture https://lnkd.in/e67ieSJT

Using GVSC provided armor designs, integration schemes and durability test data, GDLS will perform a System Functional Review of the technology on a Styker platform. Our survivability and protection experts are dedicated to the technologies and resulting capabilities that keep our formations on the battlefield and bring our warfighters home safely. https://lnkd.in/e5G4ry9g

Members from the Michigan Defense and Aerospace Caucus, along with members from the Detroit Regional Chamber, Civilian Aides to the Secretary of the Army, and the Macomb County Commissioner toured some of our labs this week and talked with subject matter experts and leaders about ways to boost economic development in Michigan and how to attract both civilian and military talent to the state. GVSC’s mission requires expertise across a broad spectrum of disciplines, often disciplines that are difficult to acquire.?Our goal is to establish a pipeline of hard-to-find talent, especially in software engineering and electrical engineering, making acquiring this talent easier and faster in the long run.

Submit your resume for our Summer Hire Program! GVSC, the U.S. Army’s laboratory for developing advanced military ground vehicle technologies, is looking to infuse our ranks with new talent.

Earlier this week we had the privilege of hosting Nick Taylor, Head of?Land Combat?Vehicles with the UK’s Defence Equipment & Support. He was intent on hearing about our advanced batteries, or energy storage, which can enable longer silent-watch periods, faster battery recharge when the engine is running, and vehicles that more capably satisfy high-power demands. ?
