Long Range Precision Fires
Abstract
The Army G-3/5/7 has directed that Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Increment 4 change its name to Long-Range Precision Fires (LRPF) to better reflect the solution as an Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) replacement versus a follow-on increment to the GMLRS program. The United States Army is funding the development of the LRPF under the DZ8-LRPF project code. LRPF is being developed as a non-cluster munition to provide Joint Force Command with a 24/7 all weather 300 kilometer long-range fires capability without placing aircraft and crews at risk. The LRPF program currently has a Material Development Decision (MDD) scheduled for 1QFY14 with a tentative Milestone (MS) A scheduled for 2QFY15. Funding is being requested for in FY2016 to award Technology Maturation/Risk Reduction (TM/RR) contracts. LRPF will be developed via full and open competition carrying two or more contractors through the TM/RR Phase. LRPF is scheduled for a MS B in FY2018 and MS C in FY2021.
