Description
Mission — Mid-Range Capability (MRC) Missiles
The Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML) mission is to provide elements across all echelons with a mobile, autonomous, optionally manned, versatile cross-domain (offensive and defensive) fires capability and capacity far greater than current formation launcher and resupply capabilities. CAML will support a wide range of munitions, including Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM), Patriot Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) interceptors, Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM), and Indirect Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) interceptors. CAML reduces emplacement and displacement times, improves crew survivability, adds cross-country mobility, increases overall effectiveness, and allows commanders to mass lethal assets across multiple domains. The system is operated remotely via wireless communication or programmed for autonomous function.
Mission — Strategic Mid-Range Fires
This program directly supports the Army's Long Range Precision Fires modernization priority by rapidly developing and fielding critical capabilities to address evolving threats, specifically advanced Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) systems employed by peer and near-peer adversaries. These threats include sophisticated integrated air defense systems, long-range precision strike capabilities, and advanced electronic warfare techniques. The FY26 budget request supports the development and prototyping of the Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML), a mobile, autonomous, and versatile fires platform capable of launching a diverse range of offensive and defensive munitions across multiple domains. CAML will significantly enhance the Army's ability to penetrate contested environments, neutralize high-value targets, and provide responsive fires support to Combatant Commanders. While MRC successfully demonstrated a ground-launched capability utilizing existing missile systems, CAML represents a next-generation approach focused on autonomy, increased payload flexibility, and broader mission applicability. This funding will facilitate system design finalization, prototype material procurement (including tactical vehicles and munitions), hardware fabrication, software integration, and rigorous developmental and live fire testing. The program is transitioning from the MRC prototype to the CAML prototype, leveraging lessons learned to accelerate development and reduce risk.
