Mobile Protected Firepower

Abstract

Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs) lack the mobile protected firepower capability necessary to defeat enemy prepared positions, destroy enemy armored vehicles, close with the enemy through fire and maneuver, and ensure freedom of maneuver and action in close contact with the enemy. Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) will provide the protected, long range, precision direct-fire capability to ensure freedom of movement and action during offensive operations or defeat attacking enemy during defensive operations. The funding in FY2017 will support trade studies, technical/operational/affordability analysis, the initiation of an Alternative of Analysis (AoA), designs for new development concepts or modification to existing platforms, and potential prototyping to assess such designs or modifications if funding permits.
