SOFTWARE ACQUISITION


SOFTWARE, LAUNCHED


The future is now, and the future of Army modernization is an Agile sof tware system.

In 2018, the launcher software data rights transitioned from contractor-developed and -owned to 100 percent government-owned by the Strategic Operational Rockets and Missiles Project Office (STORM), being designed and developed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabil- ities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center (DEVCOM AVMC) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.


“Any new capability that requires integration with the HIMARS, such as new munitions, new communications systems, any type of interoperability—the U.S. government now has the rights to all of the HIMARS software data and test environments,” said Amber Marsh, software sustainment division chief for the DEVCOM AVMC Software, Simula- tion, Systems Engineering and Integration (S3I) Directorate. “Right now we are performing launcher software updates to support new munitions, which include Precision Strike Missile [PRSM], one of the Army’s top [Long-Range Precision Fires] programs.” What this achieves for the Army is a faster, more cost-effective way of modernizing its technology, to meet current and future threats on the battlefield.


RE-ARCHITECTED, REDESIGNED AND READY TO GO Since 2019, HIMARS has supported the Precision Strike Missile during its development flight tests, successfully launching the next-generation munition to its extended ranges and targeted impacts. DEVCOM AVMC conducts system and testing under controlled condi- tions, using interoperability modifying the HIMARS launcher software for compliance with message protocols of the PRSM munition, and the digital command and control, Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System with interface-control specifications.


pivotal software acquisition for the U.S. Army’s number one modernization priority, Long-Range Precision Fires, is the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)—to provide an all-weather, indirect, service-point targets and area-fire weapon system to strike counter fire, air defense, armored forma-
