Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF)
Abstract
Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) is being developed as a cluster and insensitive munition compliant system that replaces and improves upon Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) capabilities. The mission of the LRPF System will be to attack/neutralize/suppress/destroy targets using missile delivered indirect precision fires. LRPF will provide Joint Force Commanders with a 24/7, all-weather capability to attack critical and time sensitive area and point targets including threat air defense, missile launchers, command and control centers, assembly/staging areas and high payoff targets at all depths of the multi-domain battlefield. LRPF will counter the enemy's ability to conduct combat maneuver and air defense operations. LRPF requirements include: max range of greater than 400km, specified lethality against the designated target set, a Launch Pod Missile Container (LPMC) that holds a minimum of one missile, and compatibility with the existing launcher platforms (M270A1 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)). LRPF is being designed with an open system architecture that provides the capability for future growth to counter new and emerging threats. Milestone A; Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) was approved on 31 March 2017. FY 2018 Base funding in the amount of $102.014 million continues risk reduction activities through the execution of Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) system demonstration agreements. LRPF will be developed using competitive prototyping, carrying two contractors through the TMRR Phase. The FY18 funding will be used to continue execution of two TMRR prototyping and flight demonstration agreements, which include a System Requirements Review (SRR), functional reviews, prototype design activities, assessment of future growth capabilities, and initiates the building of eight (8) prototype missiles required to support flight demonstrations. Funding also supports Government management and Government systems engineering and test support activities.
