The document outlines the Army's continuous interests in advancing ground vehicle technologies through various Areas of Interest (AoIs) under the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC). Key initiatives include enhancing power systems up to 1.5MW for military vehicles, exploring advanced power electronics and AI/ML for power management, and developing rugged computing architectures. The focus also extends to wireless power transfer, advanced materials for vehicle durability, and innovative recovery solutions for tactical vehicles. GVSC aims to integrate commercial technologies to enhance operational efficiency for logistics and maintenance while seeking advancements in cybersecurity and counter-drone systems. This initiative includes pilot programs designed to streamline access to innovative solutions and improve military readiness. The overarching goal is to transform combat support and logistics, ensuring the Army maintains a technological edge against adversaries through efficient resource management and advanced vehicle capabilities. Comprehensive technical points of contact are provided for each area, facilitating collaboration with industry partners striving to meet the Army's evolving needs.

The Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) has revised its Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeking innovative technologies to enhance military ground vehicles. Key changes include renaming "Ground Vehicle Power Systems" to "Ground Vehicle Advanced Power Systems" and the addition of new sections on advanced power production, cybersecurity, and predictive logistics under specific Areas of Interest (AoIs). GVSC aims to accelerate the development and integration of advanced capabilities that support the Army's modernization efforts while ensuring sustainability. The CSO process consists of three phases: 1) Solution Brief Submission, 2) Presentation (if applicable), and 3) Request for Commercial Solution Proposal (CSP). The document details evaluation criteria and emphasizes the importance of innovative solutions utilizing commercial technologies. The main goal is to obtain cutting-edge solutions without bureaucratic constraints, enabling the Army to maintain a technological edge against adversaries. GVSC's ongoing interests span various fields, including advanced power systems, heavy tactical vehicles, robotics, predictive maintenance, logistics tracking, and materials engineering. This reflects a comprehensive strategy to equip the U.S. Army with advanced tools for multi-domain operations, aiming for efficiency, resilience, and operational readiness.

The Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitation, W912CH-24-S-0002, to advance innovative technologies in ground vehicle systems, critical for the U.S. Army's modernization efforts. Under the authority of the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, this solicitation aims to foster competition for procuring innovative commercial items and technologies that can enhance warfighter capabilities. The CSO will follow a multi-phased approach: initially requesting solution briefs, followed by optional presentations, and culminating in requesting full commercial solution proposals (CSPs). Evaluations will prioritize the responsiveness and technical merit of submissions, with an emphasis on innovative and commercially viable solutions. Additional Areas of Interest (AoIs) will continuously be posted for various ground vehicle technology fields, including electrical power systems, AI applications in power management, and advanced power electronics. The solicitation encourages participation from various entities, including traditional contractors and small businesses, to ensure a robust and diverse pool of innovative solutions to meet evolving military needs. Interested parties should frequently monitor the appropriate government websites for updates and new AoIs linked to this ongoing initiative.
