MR4 - Mid-Range Capability Launcher Payload Deployment System (PDS)
Abstract
The MRC Launcher PDS leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events for the MRC Launcher PDS. The MRC Launcher PDS stows and fires a mix of missiles types to include SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles. The missiles are capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage desired targets. The MRC Launcher PDS project delivers four PDSs for each MRC Battery. Additional missiles may be integrated to the MRC Launcher PDS to meet capability needs. US Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) Mid-Range Capability (MRC) effort continues as the program transitions to the US Army Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO M&S) PE 0650235A in FY2023. Four MRC batteries will be developed and fielded; the initial MRC prototype battery will be developed by RCCTO, and the three remaining MRC batteries by PEO M&S.
