Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF)
Abstract
The Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF)program is being developed as a cluster and insensitive munition compliant system that replaces and improves upon Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) capabilities to provide Joint Force Commanders with a 24/7, all-weather, area target, long-range fires capability without placing aircraft and crews at risk. The mission of the LRPF System will be to attack/neutralize/suppress/destroy targets using missile delivered indirect precision fires. The LRPF will counter the enemy's ability to conduct combat maneuver and air defense operations. Targets include counter-fire, air defense, command and control, and other high payoff targets at all depths of the tactical battlefield. LRPF requirements include 300km range; specified lethality against the designated target set, a Launch Pod Missile Container (LPMC) that holds a minimum of two missiles; and compatibility with the existing launcher platforms (M270A1 and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)). An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was directed in the Material Development Decision (MDD) on 6 November 2013. The AoA was completed on 30 April 2015 and a letter of sufficiency issued by OSD in August 2015.
