Precision Fires Warrior Dismounted & Mounted

Abstract

Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) provides the dismounted and mounted Forward Observer (FO) and Fire Support Teams (FISTs) the ability to execute fire missions. PF-D, a software application hosted on the Nett Warrior End User Device (EUD), provides the dismounted FO and FISTs the ability and functionality to accurately and rapidly locate ground targets and digitally process a Call for Fires. This action requests a fire mission against the identified ground target. PF-D answers the Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment requirement that all handheld applications reside on the Nett Warrior EUD. PF-M replaces the Lightweight Forward Entry Devices (LFED) Forward Observer Software (FOS) at the maneuver company FIST allowing them to identify ground targets and request fire missions. PF-M answers the Mounted Computing Environment (MCE) requirement and will reside on the Mounted Family of Computing Systems (MFoCS) computer. FY 2024 funding of $4.429 million will be utilized for continued development of Block 3 capabilities onto target computing environments, including net-enabled weapons capability with joint services. Funding also supports alignment with Nett Warrior architecture changes for PF-D and adapting the PF-D software to integrate with Mounted Mission Command-Software (MMC-S) and operate on the MFOCS within the MCE on fire support vehicles.
