Precision Fires Warrior Dismounted & Mounted

Abstract

Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) funding directly aligns to Network modernization priorities and supports Army 2030/2040 initiatives toward implementing multi- and joint all-domain operations in a dispersed battlefield. Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) is a software only program that is adopting a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach to software development and capability deployment. This includes utilizing modern software development methodologies, tools/techniques (e.g., DevOps, etc.) and human- centered design processes (e.g., Soldier Touch Points [STPs], etc.) to iteratively deliver software to meet Warfighter priority needs. The CI/CD approach will feature continuous development and integration with testing and user engagements (STPs) as integral parts of the process to ensure delivered capability satisfies requirements and adds value for the Warfighter. Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) is a software application that provides the dismounted and mounted Forward Observer (FO) and Fire Support Teams (FISTs) the ability to execute fire missions. Operating on the Nett Warrior End User Device (EUD), PF-D provides the dismounted FO and FISTs the ability and functionality to locate ground targets accurately and rapidly process a Call for Fires, which is the act of requesting 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 Device''s (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 2025 funding of $7.275 million will be utilized for continued development of capabilities into the targeted 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 to include vehicle integration of HMMVV and BFIST.
