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 which does not support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). This effort will focus on the development of the XM123 Ground Obstacle Breaching Lane Neutralizer (GOBLN) system, an MDO-capable modular mission payload which will provide greater effectiveness against current and emerging threat obstacles and enhanced operational reliability, supportability, mobility and survivability beyond the current state. The target platforms for GOBLN are the Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV), as well as the Remote Combat Vehicle (RCV). GOBLN has been endorsed by the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) Cross Functional Team (CFT) to fulfill the RCV breaching requirements. The modularity also allows for integration with other current and future platforms. The FY 2024 request supports continued Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR), as well as a system-level concept demonstration / soldier touchpoint and pre-milestone B activities to support an FY26 MS-B.
