Mid-Range Capability Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

The MRC Ground Support Equipment (GSE) leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events for the GSE. This includes the Battery Operations Center (BOC), prime movers, trailers, generators, cabling, and support vehicles. The MRC BOC houses the federated Command and Control systems 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 FY 2023 Base funding in the amount of $159.698 million was moved from PE 0604644A to PE 0604135A and funds the fabrication, integration of design requirements, and test and evaluation for the MRC Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and MRC BOC to enable completion and fielding of the prototype battery. Base funding allows for integration of design requirements and evaluation of MRC GSE and BOC required characteristics to ensure safe and effective operational fielding of the prototype battery. This funds the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) effort to purchase hardware and materials and receive Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to fabricate the MRC GSE and BOC and to support component-level and system-level qualification for MRC GSE and BOC. Base funding also allows for the System Engineering and Program Management of integration across military branches to include the OEM contractor and Other Government Agencies (OGA) in order to ensure a common MRC GSE. Funding provides for the Government and Contractor coordination required to perform systems engineering for integration efforts, verify cybersecurity requirements, manage software development, verify transportation requirements, and plan and execution of test and evaluation events to support initial fielding. Integration efforts include wireless communication, improved mobility, weight reduction, and M-Code implementation. This effort completes the design and fabrication of the initial MRC prototype battery, and continues the fabrication and integration of subsequent prototype batteries in support to transition to PEO M&S. PE 0604644A funded $5.016 million that was moved to PEO M&S PE 0605235A in support of the transition from RCCTO to PEO M&S.
