About this file
This is a detailed test schedule breakdown document for Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) prototype testing covering an estimated timeframe from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2028, with Transformation in Contact (TIC) testing estimated to begin in Q3 FY28. The document outlines on-platform testing across six main test cycles (MTC 001-006) and off-platform ammunition testing, followed by concurrent TIC soldier experimentation events (MTC 007-012). Base contractor support including onsite system subject matter experts, maintenance support specialists, and specialized contractor support are required for each testing event.
On-platform testing encompasses a comprehensive range of activities including initial inspections and acceptance, system training, software integration and interoperability with U.S. fire control systems, soldier touch points, cybersecurity vulnerability assessments, automotive performance testing (road shock and vibration, durability, automotive performance), firing tests (accuracy, rate of fire, reliability/availability/maintainability or RAM, blast over pressure, ammunition qualification), human factors evaluation, and logistics analysis. Specific test events require subject matter experts in areas such as system software, fire control, chassis/powertrain, and operations. Off-platform ammunition testing includes fuze safety verification, propellant safety tests, projectile compatibility testing, sequential environmental conditioning, and tactical vibration testing, with approximately 360 rounds and 100+ miles of mobility testing estimated across various events. The schedule reflects multiple repeated RAM evaluation cycles and operational demonstration training and testing with U.S. soldiers throughout the testing phases, with follow-on testing scope to be determined and support requirements contingent upon specific testing needs.
