Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) (previously titled: Next Generation Common Munitions BIT Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE)
Abstract
The technology inherent to the legacy CMBRE is obsolete and cannot be sustained beyond 2025. In addition to sustainability issues and cyber security concerns, the Fleet also requires a more transportable, lighter weight and rugged test set that has the ability to service existing and future weapons with increased data transfer capability in austere operating environments. Formerly named "CMBRE Next Generation" the Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) efforts enhance mission readiness and security, generate improved flexibility, depth, and capacity for existing and emerging aviation weapon capabilities during the conduct of ship, shore, and ship-to-shore operations in both conventional and Distributed Aviation Operations environments. STORM will support current and future fleet weapon support requirements, CONOPS, and will comply with Cyber security mandates while affordably addressing legacy CMBRE system obsolescence. STORM will utilize a Middle Tier Acquisition approach, per Section 804 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as amended in FY 2017 NDAA (codified at 10 U.S.C. sub sec 2302 note) to prototype and deliver STORM capability to USN/USMC forces.
