Distributed Fires (DFires)
Abstract
The goal of the Distributed Fires (DFires) program is to create a capability which would allow for precision fires from extended ranges to be rapidly accessed for use. The DFires system would be a stand-alone system that would be transported by trucks, rotorcraft, or boats and delivered to supporting locations on the battlefield. The modular launcher unit would provide the communications link and pass along targeting commands to the onboard stores. The onboard stores would consist of multiple tube launched munitions. Technology areas to be developed include the overall system architecture, the communications requirements and protocols, and specific stores. The anticipated transition partners for this effort are the Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Forces.
