FIRES, TARGETING, AND MANEUVER
Abstract
This activity includes Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory / Futures Directorate (MCWL/FD) experimentation efforts in the areas of fires, targeting, and maneuver including assessment of equipment, new Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP), training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced capabilities. Although this category covers a few small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by MCWL/FD, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. Investments in this activity will be conducted under the Thrust Areas of MAGTF Fires, Maneuver, and Autonomy and Robotics. The funding decrease from FY 2016 to FY 2017 reflects reduced levels of investment in autonomous swarming technologies and the completion of airborne and ground weaponized autonomous/semi-autonomous "man-in-the-loop" system evaluations and assessments. FY funding increase from 2017 to FY 2018 reflects expanding investigations in weaponized unmanned ground autonomous systems and initiating assessment and experimentation with munitions that enhance small tactical unit threat engagement abilities.
