Maritime Precision Engagement (MPE), Program Number 671

Abstract

The MPE is a family of standoff, loitering, man-in-the-loop weapons systems deployed on combatant craft and capable of targeting individuals, groups, vehicles, high value targets, and small oceangoing craft with low collateral damage. The MPE consists of combatant craft alterations, integration of the MK 50 Remote Weapon System (RWS), and munition launcher systems. Munitions for this effort are funded in Research Development Test and Evaluation, Defense Wide R-1 Warrior Systems; Project, S800, Munitions Advanced Development. This program integrates kinetic and non-kinetic effects employed by SOF Combatant Craft to enable assured access in contested maritime environments and aligns with the 2022 NDS supporting strategic competition influence through Integrated Deterrence and building enduring competitive technological advantages for the future Joint Force.
