FIRES, TARGETING, AND MANEUVER
Abstract
This activity includes FD/MCWL experimentation efforts in the areas of fires, targeting, and maneuver including assessment of equipment, new TTPs, training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced capabilities. Although this category covers several small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by FD/MCWL, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. Investments in this activity will be conducted under the Thrust Areas of MAGTF Fires, Maneuver, and Autonomy and Robotics. The FY 2015 to FY 2016 decrease in category funding is attributable to reducing investments in the weaponization portion of exploring both airborne and ground weaponized autonomous systems. The FY 2016 to FY 2017 increase in category funding is mainly due to increased levels of investment into autonomous swarming technologies to capitalize on identified academia opportunities.
