Mobile Intermediate Range Missile
Abstract
The Program Element (PE) 0604644A / Mobile Medium Range Missile was moved from PE 0604644A to PE 0604135A / Strategic Mid-Range Fires and PE 0605235A / Mid-Range Capability in FY 2023. Four MRC batteries will be developed and fielding. The mission of the MRC Prototype Weapon System is to provide Combatant Commanders with a strategic, ground-mobile, offensive missile capability. The MRC Prototype Weapon System will leverage existing SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles for ground launch, to provide a responsive, highly accurate, deep strike capability designed to destroy high value, high payoff targets. MRC is optimized for the penetration/dis-integration phase of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) by defeating enemy Anti-Access / Area Denial (A2/AD) systems allowing the Combatant Commander freedom to maneuver during the exploitation phase. The MRC Prototype Weapon System leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. MRC provides the Launchers and Battery Operations Center (BOC) which enable the capability to fire a mix of missiles capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage targets. The first MRC Prototype Weapon System deliverable quantity is one residual combat MRC prototype battery consisting of four Launchers and one BOC, to be deployed NLT 4Q FY 2023 as the First Unit of Issue (FUI). Delivery of follow-on batteries will occur annually thereafter. FY 2023 Base funding in the amount of $404.291 million was moved from PE 0604644A to PE 0604135A and funds the integration of design requirements to complete and field the prototype battery, and to support fabrication of subsequent prototype batteries. Base funding allows for integration and evaluation of required characteristics to ensure safe and effective operational fielding of the prototype battery. Base funding also allows for purchasing and receiving hardware and materials to implement prototype fabrication, and to support component-level and system-level qualification.
