Army Survivability Analysis & Evaluation Supp
This project funds objective survivability, lethality and vulnerability (SLV) analyses necessary for Army Senior Leader decision-making. Products result from investigating, analyzing, assessing, experimenting and reporting on the survivability of Soldiers, and on the SLV of the highest priority Army and threat systems. Products are used to exercise constructive design influence over materiel development and to provide credible engineering-level underpinning and input to the Army's analytical and test & evaluation communities. This project provides quantitative analyses and data for fielded and developmental systems as the Army pursues its modernization priorities and ensures readiness through the fielding of lethal and survivable systems for all-domain operations. This Project funds engineering level analysis and experimentation to analyze system performance in critical technology areas, including aviation, ground vehicle and protection technologies, communications, command and control (C3), autonomy, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and counter UAS, sensing and intelligence, energetics/fires, assured positioning, navigation and timing (A-PNT), propulsion, power and energy, and other Army priorities. Principal data and analysis domains are system performance, cyber resilience, human systems integration (HSI), electromagnetic warfare (EW) threat defense, ballistic lethality and vulnerability, and mission threat analysis. Analyses funded by this project are conducted across the spectrum of battlefield threats to include: guns, missiles, mines and other methods of inflicting physical damage; jammers, countermeasures, and other EW techniques; cyber threats from insiders to nation states; and directed energy weapons. Many different kinds of technical capabilities are used to generate these analyses, including specialized equipment, modeling & simulation (M&S), and experimental facilities. This project ensures these capabilities can represent a live, virtual, and constructive hostile environment required for credible analysis, thus enabling decision makers to make informed acquisition judgments. This technical data from earliest experimentation to fielding is retained and serves as the Army's authoritative source of system performance analysis information for supporting an ever-improving body of evidence to drive milestone decisions.
Will maintain and advance M&S threat representation, analytical methodologies and performance analysis tools to conduct SLV analyses of Army ground, aviation and Soldier systems, component technologies and munitions. Planned activities will include analysis of weapons effectiveness and lethality against near peer threat targets and SLV…

Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work Will maintain and advance M&S threat representation, analytical methodologies and performance analysis tools to conduct SLV analyses of Army air and missile defense systems and technologies. For T2COM, will continue to maintain and generate kinetic/non-kinetic models and threat emulations to support future air and missile defense system concepts development. Will provide component and systems-level performance analyses to inform technology maturation, trade-off decisions, and risk reduction.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Funding increase reflects economic adjustment
FY2026 plans — current year Will develop and advance M&S threat representation and performance analysis tools and methodologies to provide SLV and HMI assessments of Army air and missile defense priority systems and technologies for the FCC and PAEs. For DEVCOM Centers/ARL, will continue to provide cyber and electronic warfare threat representation, and component and systems-level performance analyses to inform prototype technology development, inform design decisions and reduce risks through experimentation and T&E for air and missile defense technologies, munitions and systems.
FY2025 accomplishments Developed and advanced foundational SLV analytical capabilities to conduct analyses and assessments of developmental air and missile defense technology survivability/lethality as specified by AFC/DEVCOM and AEC highest priority systems including vulnerabilities related to AI, human-agent teaming, and CEMA. Provided data and analysis support throughout AFC experimentation and the Future Study Program. For DEVCOM Centers/ARL, provided cyber and electronic warfare threat representation, lethality estimates, and performance analyses to inform prototype technology developers, influence design, and mature air and missile defense technologies and reduce risk.
