The M1130 Commander Vehicle (CV) is an armored command vehicle based on the Stryker platform. It is used within the brigade to provide means to receive information, analyze and transmit data, and control forces carrying out combat missions. Models with the double V-hull upgrade are known as the M1255 CVV.
General
The CV provides an operational platform for elements of command within the
C4ISR
equipment for the unit commanders. It has the ability to access aircraft power and antenna systems to plan missions while en route aboard aircraft.
Operational capability
Commanders must have the capability to see and direct the battle continuously, maintaining the
Common Relevant Operating Picture (CROP) for all friendly forces within their respective areas of operation. This enhanced situational awareness
and understanding will enable commanders to synchronize and employ widely dispersed and highly mobile forces at decisive points of the operation. Initial fielding of the CV will be three platforms to the brigade headquarters, two platforms to the infantry maneuver battalion HQ, and two per infantry maneuver company within each battalion.
The CV is based on the Stryker
organic
vehicle to the ICV maneuver formation.
