Note
Activities performed in Program Element (PE) 0604135A (Strategic Mid-Range Fires) are transitioning from the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office
(RCCTO) to PEO Missiles and Space (PEO MS) in PE 0605235A (Strategic Mid-Range Capability). The PE 0605235A FY 2024 planned program continues activities
and contracting actions started in PE 0604135A. Additionally, the program transitions funding for Tomahawk missiles from Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation
(RDT&E) to Missile Procurement, Army in FY 2024 to align with the program's acquisition strategy.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long-Range Precision Fires Modernization Priority. The Mid-Range Capability (MRC) Prototype Weapon System
leverages Joint Service technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. MRC provides Ground Support Equipment
(GSE) to include a Battery Operations Center (BOC) with support vehicles, launcher Payload Deployment System (PDS), and reload support to fire a mix of missiles
capable of engaging targets at mid-range distances. The prototype MRC leverages existing SM-6 and Tomahawk technology to include command and control systems
and missile variants to provide a responsive, highly accurate capability designed for high value 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, enabling Combatant Commanders freedom of maneuver. Five MRC
batteries will be developed and fielded; the initial prototype MRC battery will be developed and fielded by Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO)
and four additional MRC batteries by Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS) plus hardware support for additional capabilities including Defense of
Guam.
The first MRC prototype weapon system battery deliverable quantity is one residual combat capability consisting of four (4) launchers, BOC, reload support, and basic
load of missiles consisting of eight (8) SM-6 Block 1A and eight (8) Tomahawk Block V to be fielded by RCCTO not later than 4Q FY2023 as the First Unit of Issue (FUI).
Delivery of follow-on batteries and additional capabilities by PEO MS will occur annually thereafter.
FY 2024 base funding in the amount of $348.855 million continues alignment of RCCTO and PEO MS program transition activities started in FY 2023, culminating in FY
2024 with PEO MS as the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) responsible for meeting statutory and appropriate regulatory acquisition requirements. Base funding
allows for developing, testing, evaluating, system engineering and integrating of system improvements while ensuring safe, suitable and sustainable operational fielding
of the additional prototype batteries. Base funding also allows for purchasing and receiving hardware and materials to implement prototype fabrication, and to support
component-level and system-level qualification. The PEO MS program funding continues fabrication, integration of new design requirements and technology insertions
adding additional capabilities to the prototype batteries.

Description: Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS) develops agreements, decision points, acquisition
strategies and plans which documents the transition of the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) prototype
Mid-Range Capability (MRC) to a Programs of Record, thus aligning the Defense Management process and Secretary of the
Army guidance for completing and fielding MRC equipment. The MRC Ground Support Equipment (GSE) leverages Joint Service
technologies and integration of common hardware, software, and mutually supporting test events. This includes the Battery
Operations Center (BOC), launcher Payload Deployment System (PDS), 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. The MRC Launcher PDS stows and fires a mix of missile types to include SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles capable of flying
at various speeds and altitudes for engage desired targets at range. Additional missiles may integrate into the MRC GSE to meet
capability needs to include Defense of Guam.
FY 2023 Plans:
This effort funds program support costs necessary to prepare program acquisition, budget/cost, contract, prototype technology
transition, and product support documentation. Provides for follow-on prototype development, acquisition, affordability, and risk
reduction activities for batteries 2 - 5.

Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) effort to purchase hardware and materials and receive Government Furnished Equipment
(GFE) to fabricate and to support component-level and system-level qualification for MRC GSE.
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 system integration and check out,
verify cybersecurity requirements, manage software development, verify transportation requirements, and plan and execute
test and evaluation events to support fielding. This funding allows for developing, testing, evaluating, systems engineering and
integrating of system improvements while ensuring safe, suitable and sustainable operational fielding of the MRC GSE solution
through Technology Insertion Points adding additional capabilities to the prototype batteries. Additional integration efforts include
improved communications, rapid reloading, improved mobility, weight reduction, M-Code implementation, software development,
cyber security, transportability and locality-based enhancements. Provides Systems Engineering and Government Program
Management required to deliver the prototype battery to a combat unit.
FY 2023 to FY 2024 Increase/Decrease Statement:
FY 2024 increase fully transitions the Mid-Range Capability (MRC) Battery procurement to Program Executive Office Missiles
and Space (PEO MS) from Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) to continue rapid prototyping. This
effort continues transition of the MRC program from RCCTO to PEO MS with PEO MS assuming the responsibility for program
management, systems engineering, integration, manufacturing, assembly, test evaluation, and product support planning for
Battery 2, 3 and 4.

points in FY2023 for Batteries 2-5. These include acquisition pathway determination, contract planning, requirements development / technology insertion, cost analysis,
test planning, and lifecycle support planning. Based on SecArmy guidance and DOD 5000 authority, the effort leverages a variety of contract vehicles, including Other
Transaction Authority Agreements to meet program continuation and system delivery requirements. The MRC program will continue developing, integrating, and fielding
through transition of a RCCTO prototype Other Transaction Authority (pOTA), which was awarded to Lockheed Martin (LM) in November 2020. Additionally, PEO MS
leverages the Navy, and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) investments in weapon system development by utilizing existing contract vehicles to procure supporting items
currently in production through a combination of Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Joint Service contracts. Using these contracts, the MRC project retains
commonality in production, training, logistics, and sustainment with and the Navy.
