Breaching Capability Development - Mounted

Abstract

The current mounted breaching system, the M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC), is a rocket-projected explosive line charge that was initially fielded over 50 years ago and is becoming increasingly less effective against modernized threat obstacles. This effort will focus on the development of the Next Generation Mounted Breaching system as a modular mission payload which will provide greater effectiveness against current and emerging threat obstacles and enhance operational reliability, supportability, mobility and survivability beyond the current state. This new capability and payload will be compatible for use on existing and future platforms including Next Generation Combat Vehicle - Remote Combat Vehicle-Medium (NGCV RCV-M). FY 2022 supports the development of a scalable and adjustable breaching capability that can neutralize all current and future landmines regardless of triggering type and be employed by autonomous and/or semi-autonomous systems to replace the current MICLIC capability.
