Combat Service Support Eng Equip

Abstract

The Engineer Mods and Tool Kits line funds modifications and initiatives which are required to address operational priorities, engineering change proposals, safety concerns, support equipment inefficiencies, product quality deficiencies and other issues that affect equipment reliability, availability and readiness. This approach ensures proper equipment sustainment and life cycle management in response to evolving needs of the Marine Corps fleet. Operational needs to provide personnel survivability on engineer equipment is essential to current and future operations. Research and development funding develops and integrates new lighter, compact armor technology and supports ballistic testing for applications to existing and future acquisitions. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPAC): The useful life of Marine Corps assets will be extended through a comprehensive CPAC RDT&E program aimed at identifying and certifying new corrosion control products, materials, processes and procedures for legacy and new acquisitions. The CPAC RDT&E Program works to standardize and substantially improve strategies, objectives and processes to prevent, detect, and treat corrosion and its impacts on Marine Corps ground vehicles and weapons systems. This mission responds to the Congressional directives, DoD and SECNAV instruction to reduce the negative operational effects of corrosion and reduce associated total ownership cost of Marine Corps ground equipment and weapons systems. Family of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Equipment (FEOD): Funding supports the Rapid Statement of Need (RSON) development, testing and evaluation of the Amphibious Unmanned Ground Vehicle (AUGV) under-water robot to locate, identify, and neutralize those threats. Explosive Hazard Defeat System (EHDS): Funding supports testing and development of the Standoff Radar Imaging Detection Systems (SoRIDS) that support USMC Full Force Design Enhancements to avoid or neutralize explosive threats.
