Mobile Intermediate Range Missile (MIRM)
Abstract
The Program Element (PE) 0604644A / Mobile Medium Range Missile funds the US Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) Mid-Range Capability (MRC) effort and continues as the program transitions to the US Army Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS). Four MRC batteries will be developed and deployed; the MRC prototype battery will be developed by RCCTO, and the three remaining MRC batteries by PEO MS. The mission of the MRC project is to provide Combatant Commanders with a strategic, ground-mobile, all-weather, offensive missile capability. The MRC Project 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 Joint Force Commander freedom to maneuver during the exploitation phase. The MRC project leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. MRC develops the Launchers and Battery Operations Center (BOC) which provide the capability to fire a mix of missiles capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage desired targets. The MRC project 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). The MRC Launcher Payload Deployment System project leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events for the MRC Payload Deployment System. MRC Launcher PDS stows and fires the two missiles, 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. The MRC Ground Support Equipment project leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events for the Ground Support Equipment. The Ground Support Equipment includes the Battery Operations Center, prime movers, trailer, generators, cabling, and support vehicles. The MRC Missiles project funds Joint Service technologies and buys missiles, SM-6 and Tomahawk, needed for the operational deployment of the MRC prototype Battery. The missiles are capable of flying at various speeds and altitudes for mid-range distances to engage desired targets.
