Originally I was going to post this in the FSCS thread ( https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/lancer-sika-pics-info.11823/ ) but this eventually became bigger than I originally intended ( 2 major files containing around 80 pages with 5 presentations in both, and two other presenations, all about FSCS directly). This has a-lot of previously unseen presentations on FSCS. But more importantly this thread contains presentations that are our first look into the Army After Next ground combat vehicle program otherwise known ( I think ) as Future Combat Vehicles or Multi-Mission Combat Vehicles. This I think justifies this being a new thread and why I didn't just post it there. Sadly one of these files is in exceedingly poor condition, where you can barely make out the images on the slides.
FSCS was once considered to be used as a common chassis alongside another 17-20 wheeled chassis as part of what is essentially the predecessor program to FCS, like how Armored Family of Vehicles is to ASM ( an initial study of concepts). The wheeled chassis would be fielded in larger numbers to the FSCS and FSCS based vehicles due to being cheaper. These presentations discuss three variants of FSCS/ Tracer. A Unmanned "Robotic Follower" with 28 NLOS missiles, an IFV called the Dragoon, and the U.K Tracer Overwatch missile carrier vehicle with which the Robotic Follower is based off.
The most interesting of these archived presentations is Fenner A. Milton's presentation/ paper at the 1998 21st Army science conference titled: "Army After Next Proposal For Ground Combat Vehicles". I don't think this is the full presentation and we don't have the transcripts and paper itself, but it's still rather interesting.
AAN ground combat vehicles can be seen on the slide below as a study/program lasting from 1997-99 in the top right corner.
