Introduction:

Leonardo DRS, Inc.today announced that it has been awarded a firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at over $99 million to supply the U.S. Army with advanced, next-generation Mortar Fire Control Systems (MFCS).

Features:

Under the terms of the contract, Leonardo DRS is tasked with producing and delivering advanced fire control systems, along with providing fielding services to support the U.S. Army’s mortar Weapons and Fire Control programs.

The Mortar Fire Control System (MFCS) will modernize the Army's existing mortar fire control capabilities by integrating them into the digital battlefield. This system enables mortar crews to transmit and receive digital fire requests, assess weapon positioning, and calculate precise ballistic solutions in real time.

“Leonardo DRS is exceptionally well-suited for this program, thanks to its extensive portfolio of advanced technologies and expertise in delivering ruggedized, networked computing systems across the U.S. Army's inventory,” said a company spokesperson.

Network computing is a cornerstone of DRS's strategic vision as it continues to lead in providing cutting-edge C5 technologies. These solutions are vital for enhancing data flow and communication in areas like targeting, situational awareness, and Battle Management Systems (BMS), especially in complex multi-domain battlefield operations.

Through ongoing investments in next-generation computing systems, AI processing, and the development of C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards/Sensor Open System Architecture (CMOSS/SOSA)-aligned systems, the company is advancing the Department of Defense's capabilities. These technologies are designed to improve sensor fusion, enhance situational awareness, and reduce cognitive burden for commanders and crews, thereby supporting the evolution of future network and platform processing.
