Land systems

Survivability, terrain and sustainment are scoped together, before procurement.

Vehicle selection is a survivability, terrain and sustainment decision before it is a procurement decision. We scope all three together: the threat environment, the ground the fleet will actually operate on, and the workshop, training and spares depth needed to keep it moving.
