Mobile Medium Range Missile
Abstract
The Program Element (PE) 0604644A / Mobile Medium Range Missile funds the US Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) Mid-Range Capability (MRC) effort and continues as the program transitions to the US Army Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS). Four MRC batteries will be developed and deployed; the MRC prototype battery will be developed by RCCTO, and the three remaining MRC batteries by PEO MS. The mission of the MRC project is to provide Combatant Commanders with a strategic, ground-mobile, all-weather, offensive missile capability. The MRC Project will leverage existing SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles for ground launch, to provide a responsive, highly accurate, deep strike capability designed to destroy high value, high payoff targets. MRC is optimized for the penetration/dis-integration phase of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) by defeating enemy Anti-Access / Area Denial (A2/AD) systems allowing the Joint Force Commander freedom to maneuver during the exploitation phase. The MRC project leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. MRC develops the Launchers and Battery Operations Center (BOC) which provide the capability to fire a mix of missiles capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage desired targets. The MRC project deliverable quantity is one residual combat MRC prototype battery consisting of four Launchers and one BOC, to be deployed NLT 4Q FY 2023 as the First Unit of Issue (FUI). FY 2022 Base funding in the amount of $286.457 million for Project MR1 funds the integration of design requirements to deploy the prototype battery. Base funding allows for integration and evaluation of required characteristics to ensure safe and effective operational deployment of the prototype battery. Base funding also allows for purchasing and receiving hardware and materials to implement prototype fabrication, and to support component-level and system-level qualification.
