Acquisition Strategy The MLRS product improvement program conducts concept studies to support obsolescence mitigation, automotive updates, and hardware/software enhancements. Development efforts underway include EC2 and efforts supporting interoperability certifications, information assurance compliance, IAC, and mitigating obsolescence of the Fire Control System through the FCSU effort. The IAC effort enhances the level of crew protection. A contract was awarded following a competitive bid process (full and open competition) to ensure best value for the government. Seven prototype cabs have been delivered and integrated onto the launchers; testing was completed in FY5. The FCSU is driven by the need to mitigate obsolete electronic components that are being sustained through life of type purchases. These purchased components will be exhausted, thus requiring an update to the design. This update to the design will preserve current and future capability of firing the complete set of MLRS family of munitions per the Operational Requirements Document (ORD). The FCSU development effort began in FY, utilizing the Industrial Engineering Services (IES) contract that was previously sole source awarded. E.
