Fire Support System

Abstract

This project develops joint and Marine Corps unique improvements to artillery fire support technology and fire support equipment. These initiatives include but are not limited to the Expeditionary Fire Support System (EFSS) munitions testing as well as testing and development of the Family of Artillery Munitions (FAM). Two new initiatives have begun in FY10, Common Laser Range Finder (CLRF) Refresh and Modeled Meteorological Information Manager (MIMM). The CLRF Refresh Research and Development effort is intended to develop an improved, lighter, CLRF that incorporates the latest True North Module (TNM). MIMM development sustains the capability of Marine artillerymen to obtain accurate, near real time, meteorological data through the use of models, and eliminates the need to track balloons either visually or electronically. The FS Mod Line associated with this PE provides resources for four fielded systems; Ground Counter Fire Sensor (GCFS), Improved Position Azimuth Determining System (IPADS), Marine Artillery Survey Set (MASS), and the Meteorological Station Group (MSG).
