Next-Gen Combat Vehicle to Require Emerging Tech

The Army has made clear that it wants to field a next-generation combat vehicle by sometime between 2028 and 2035. Beyond that, a myriad of questions remain as to what such a vehicle would look like, what it would replace and how much it should cost.
Within the context of what the Army has stated publicly, the prevailing thought is such a family of vehicles would incorporate a platform capable of both human-piloted and unmanned operation — diverse enough to do everything from carry troops to deliver fires. The flesh-and-blood drivers could have the option of controlling the unmanned vehicle systems directly, or allowing them to proceed and communicate with each other autonomously.
