What is MRM?FCS MCS Mid-Range-Munition (MRM)AMCObjective: Provide the FCS Mounted Combat System (MCS) with aprecision munition capable of defeating LOS/BLOS threats out to 12 km.The goal, as part of the LOS/BLOS ATD was to develop and integrate thenecessary technologies to demonstrate a TRL 6 munition, ready forMilestone B and System Development & Demonstration (SDD) Phase.BLOSLOS/BLOSBLOSEYES ON TARGETSYSTEMSYSTEMCHARACTERISTICS:CHARACTERISTICS: ement1MCSIncrement 1 MCS -Off FleetingTargets(MBTswithFleeting Targets (MBTs withERA,ERA,APCs,Artillery,etc.)APCs, Artillery, etc.) d/orwithDesignationand/or with DesignationSeekerSeeker OperatesinLine-of-SightOperates in Line-of-SightororBeyondLine-of-SightModesBeyond Line-of-Sight Modesfromfrom2kmoutto12Km(T)16Km(0)2km out to 12Km (T) 16Km (0)Extended the Capability to Defeat Heavy Armor out to 12 Km
