1.0 Background

Both Product Manager (PdM) Fire Support Systems (FSS) and PdM Organic Precision Fires (OPF) are within Marine Corps System Command’s (MCSC) Ground Weapon Systems (GWS) Program Manager, which equips the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with indirect-fire weapon systems, targeting systems, fire control, radars, acoustic sensors, and artillery survey equipment. PdM FSS is currently divided into four (4) teams: Artillery & Supporting Equipment (A&SE), Fire Direction & Naval Fires Command and Control (FD&NFC2), Fire Support Coordination (FSC), and M777A2. PdM OPF consists of OPF-Light (OPF-L) and OPF-Medium

(OPF-M).

1.1 A&SE

The A&SE team supports the development, procurement and sustainment of survey and meteorological capabilities by resourcing current and future fires support and target acquisition capabilities. The A&SE consists of two (2) teams, the Fire Support Modification Line (FSML) and the Family of Target Acquisition Systems (FTAS).

1.1.1 The FSML team supports the development, procurement, and sustainment of the fires support capabilities which consist of eight (8) distinct end items that encompass the equipment required to support survey and meteorological requirements for accurate predicted fires within the field artillery regiment. These end items include the Location Azimuth Determining System (LADS) which is replacing the Improved Position Azimuth Determining System – Global Positioning Satellite, LADS Maintainer Kit, Marine Artillery Survey Set, Modeled Meteorological Information Manager, Global Positioning System-Survey, Pilot Balloon, Aiming Circle, and the Sensor Computer. FSML provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with the capability to provide accurate ballistic indirect fires and counterfires. FSML is critical for providing accurate indirect artillery fire in support of maneuver elements to satisfy the suppression mission essential task.

1.1.2 The FTAS team supports development, procurement and sustainment of target acquisition capabilities. FTAS encompasses the equipment required to support target acquisition within the target acquisition platoon and is resident in the headquarters battery of each artillery regiment.

FTAS provides the MAGTF with the capability to locate, identify and attack enemy indirect fire weapons systems, observe and direct friendly artillery fire. FTAS consists of the AN/TPQ-46B Firefinder Radar currently in disposal, the AN/TPQ-54(V)1 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar Mobile (LCMR), and the Ground Counter Fire Sensor. FTAS is critical in the execution of counterfire and integration of target acquisition information. FTAS also provides artillery firing units with the ability to conduct artillery registration and other friendly fire missions.

1.2 FD&NFC2

The FD&NFC2 team manages two (2) distinct but inter-related projects, the Mobile Command Vehicle (MCV), a hardware (HW) intensive effort, and the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), which is a software (SW) intensive effort. The Integrated Product Team (IPT) also integrates with a variety of stakeholders for Fires Command and Control (C2) modernization.

1.2.1 The MCV is an integration effort aimed at combining a proven shelter (S-788), Program of Record (PoR) HW Environmental Control Unit (ECU), Radio Equipment, Fires C2 systems), and a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle – Utility (JLTV) to provide USMC Fire Support units with a mounted Fires C2 capability. The MCV operational employment will be similar to legacy shelters, thereby eliminating the need for modifications to unit Tables of Organization (T/O), additional personnel allocation, or the creation of a new Military Occupation Specialty.

Additionally, Medium Missile Batteries will utilize the MCV as a mobile Fires C2 platform to meet the Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System's (NMESIS) Section Fires C2 requirements.

1.2.2 The AFATDS is a Fires C2 SW platform developed by the United States (U.S.) Army Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications and Networks, which is the primary automated fire support C2 system currently fielded by the U.S. Army, USMC, and coalition partners. The SW, fielded by the USMC on a dedicated laptop, integrates all supporting arms assets within the MAGTF to include artillery, rockets and missiles, naval gunfire, fixed and rotary wing aviation, mortars, and any emerging capabilities such as NMESIS.

It can be used in a standalone configuration or installed on various mobile fire support platforms, including the MCV.

1.3 FSC

The FSC portfolio consists of the AN/PSQ-45 Handheld Video Data Link (HH-VDL), Target Handoff System version 2 (THSv2) and the Family of Laser Designator Range Finders (FoLDRS).

1.3.1 The AN/PSQ-45 HH-VDL, part of the Remote Video Viewing Terminal program, is undergoing a modernization effort with sustainment planned through Fiscal Year (FY) 2032.

This initiative includes a HW (HW) technology refresh in FY2030 to address obsolescence and agile development of its Government-owned SW for future full-motion video capabilities. To ensure seamless interoperability, the HH-VDL’s SW updates are synchronized with the annual schedule for the THSv2.

1.3.2 The THSv2 is in sustainment and will have completed HW and SW refreshes in FY2026 to support operational integration required for Ground C2, Air Platforms. Ongoing sustainment will require biennial HW refreshes and annual SW refreshes to support Digitally Aided Close Air Support (DACAS) and Digitally Aided Fires Support (DAFS) efforts. This effort will include collaboration with Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) and other Government agencies to support testing activities. The Contractor will provide the Technical, Engineering, and Logistics Support for THSv2 to be sustained until the end of the system lifecycle. THSv2 is expected to be replaced in FY2030 by the Target Handoff System version 3.

1.3.3 The FoLDRs team encompasses the Next Generation Handheld Targeting System (NGHTS), designated as an Acquisition Category IV(T) program, and the sustainment of several legacy systems. These legacy systems include the Portable Lightweight Designator Rangefinder -

Laser Target Designator (LTD), Enhanced Joint Terminal Attack Controller LTD, Joint Terminal Attack Controller LTD, and Thermal Laser Spot Imager. Northrup Gruman is the Original Equipment Manager for NGHTS. NGHTS is expected to reach Initial Operational Capability in the fourth quarter of FY2027 (4QFY2027) and Full Operational Capability (FOC) expected in 4QFY2031. The legacy systems will be sustained until NGHTS achieves FOC.

1.4 M777A2

The M777A2 program is currently in the Operations and Support phase of the acquisition lifecycle with ongoing modernization efforts to keep the system operational.

The M777A2 program utilizes a hybrid organic/Contractor sustainment strategy which focuses on operational readiness utilizing a Performance Based Life Cycle Sustainment contract with BAE Systems. The focus of the effort is to continue to modernize and sustain the fleet of towed howitzers while maintaining operational readiness in a farcically constrained environment.

1.5 OPF-L

The OPF-L program provides Squad to Platoon echelons of the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) with organic, loitering, beyond the line-of-sight precision strike capability. This system will be employed beyond the range of direct fire weapons, while minimizing collateral damage and exposure to direct and indirect fires to enemies. A fielding decision is expected in 3QFY2026.

1.6 OPF-M

The OPF-M system will provide battalion-sized units with a mobile, loitering munition capability. It is designed to deliver anti-armor and anti-material effects out to the maximum range of the unit’s organic reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition platforms in degraded weather conditions, cloud ceilings, and target obscuration.

2.0 Scope

Each team has project management responsibilities for several projects. This effort provides program management support, systems engineering support, life cycle logistics, and on-site system subject matter expertise (SME) for fielded systems within both PdM FSS and PdM OPF portfolios through all phases of the acquisition life cycle.
