Abstract
This funding provides research, development, test and evaluation on low cost items with an emphasis on Non-Developmental Items/Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (NDI/COTS) available items. Much of the RDT&E is conducted in coordination/concert with other services and joint organizations, and in consideration of RDT&E efforts being pursued by the other Services. Items approved for procurement will transition into Operation and Maintenance Marine Corps accounts for Infantry Combat Equipment, Family of Shelters, and Combat Field Feeding Systems; Family of Field Medical Equipment. Beginning in FY19 for the Family of Field Medical Equipment, items approved for procurement will also transition to the Procurement, Marine Corps account. The benefits will be reduced logistics, less weight, improved combat effectiveness, better echelon I and II care for Marines, improved individual and unit protection, expeditionary feeding platforms, tactical mobility, calibration and maintenance, etc. The employment of state of the art equipment will ensure Marines are equipped and supported with the best items that technology can offer. The Infantry Combat Equipment portfolio of capabilities encompasses Marine Corps Uniforms, Cold Weather and Mountaineering, Load Bearing and Pack Systems, and Individual Warfighting Equipment research, development and testing of enhancements, upgrades and modifications to legacy systems and new developments. Funding for this capability area leverages other Services' and governmental partners' efforts to maximize returns on investment and promote coordination and cooperation for same or similar requirements and capabilities. The objective is to equip individual Marines with uniforms and combat equipment to maximize effectiveness in every environment across the full range of military operations. The Family of Field Medical Equipment (FFME) focus is to provide state of the art medical equipment and emerging medical technology that will improve the clinical outcomes for casualties. The focus is also to replace obsolete items with those that fulfill the requirements and needs while increasing performance characteristics in the areas of energy efficiency, durability, reliability, weight, size and survivability in austere environments of a variety of climes. The Family of Shelters and Shelters Equipment (FSSE) and The Family of Combat Field Feeding Systems (CFFS) portfolio focus is to provide high-quality and scalable expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter. The Family of Shelters provides the material solutions required to protect the Operating Forces from observation, adverse climatic environments, and combat hazards. The Family of Combat Field Feeding provides food preparation and service equipment to sustain Marines on-the-move and in a static position. The objective is to maximize fuel efficiency, reduce size and weight, and improve transportability. The Calibration and Maintenance Program (CAMP) provides a calibration and maintenance capability supporting the calibrated tools and test equipment used by over 40,000 Marine maintainers and technicians. Calibration of tools as simple as torque wrenches to as complex as satellite test equipment is required to ensure their safe operation. This funding will be used to develop new test procedures as well as test new calibration equipment used to support weapon systems being deployed by Marine Corps forces. Family of Expeditionary Water Systems (FEWS) is a family of systems line that contains water bath, shower, and laundry systems and well as water purification, storage, distribution, hygiene and test systems. This capability is necessary to provide safe and potable water to Marines in expeditionary environments. The family contains individual Table of Allowance Material Control Numbers which supports MAGTF operations by providing all aspects of land-based water support to include analysis, purification, reuse, storage, transfer and dispensing. Family of Expeditionary Fuel Systems (FEFS) is a family of systems line that contains highly versatile fuel systems designed to receive, test, store, transfer and dispense fuel in support of Marine Air Ground Tactical Force (MAGTF) operations. The family contains individual Table of Allowance Material Control Numbers which supports MAGTF operations by providing all aspects of land-based fuel support to include analysis, receipt, storage, transfer and dispensing including all the components required to configure those systems.
