FIRES, TARGETING, AND MANEUVER
Abstract
This activity includes MCWL experimentation efforts in the areas of fires, targeting, and maneuver including assessment of equipment, new TTPs, training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced capabilities. Although this category covers several small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by MCWL, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. The increase in MCWL Fires, Targeting, and Maneuver activity funding from FY 2011 to FY 2012 is due to the development and testing of concept demonstrator technologies for enhanced fire support and fire support coordination. The increase from FY 2012 to FY 2013 is due to the continuation of small unit precision munitions/loitering weapons/armed Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) efforts; as well as the pursuit of investigations into weaponized unmanned ground robotic systems, vehicle mounted hostile indirect-fire detection systems, and networked target information efforts.
