Mid-Range Cap Launcher Payload Deployment System
Abstract
The MRC Launcher PDS leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events for the MRC Payload Deployment System. The MRC Launcher PDS stows and fires a mix of missiles types to include SM-6 and Tomahawk. The missiles are capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage desired targets. The MRC Launcher PDS Project delivers four PDSs for each MRC Battery. Additional missiles may be integrated to the MRC Launcher PDS capability needs. The FY 2023 Base funding in the amount of $96.477 million was moved from PE 0604644A / Mobile Medium Range Missiles to PE 0604135A / Strategic Mid-Range Fires and funds the fabrication, integration of design requirements, and test and evaluation for the initial four prototype MRC Launcher PDS. The FY 2023 base funding also provides for the OEMs effort to obtain materials and sub-assemblies and to fabricate the MRC Launcher Payload Deployment System for subsequent prototype batteries in support to transition to PEO M&S. This provides for additional design, development, and integration of required characteristics to ensure safe and effective operational fielding of the MRC Launcher PDS solution through Technology Insertion Points. Launcher integration ensures that the system is stable during launch and meets transportation requirements. Provides for the Government and Contractor coordination and support to plan and execute Test and Evaluation events. Additional integration efforts include improved communications, rapid reloading, improved mobility, weight reduction, and M-Code implementation. Provides for cyber security, software development, and transportation required to deliver the prototype battery.
