Description

Mission Mobile Protected Firepower

Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs) currently lack the mobile, protected firepower capability necessary to defeat enemy prepared positions, destroy enemy armored vehicles, close with the enemy through fire and maneuver, and ensure freedom of maneuver and action in close contact with the enemy. The M10 Booker (formerly, Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF)) will provide the Army's IBCTs a protected, long range, precision direct-fire capability to ensure freedom of movement during offensive operations and defeat attacking enemy during defensive operations. As a result of the Army Transformation Initiative (ATI) EXORD, the Army has given direction to cease procurement of M10 Booker and inactivated all M10 Booker Battalions. FY 2026 Base RDTE funds in the amount of $16.593 million will be utilized for contract close-out and realigned to Army Transformation Initiative priorities.

Mission Armored Systems Modernization (ASM) - Eng Dev

The M10 Booker (formerly, Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF)) will provide the Army's IBCTs a protected, long range, precision direct-fire capability to ensure freedom of movement during offensive operations and defeat attacking enemy during defensive operations. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.394 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (8)

Government Test and Evaluation (Performance Testing)

During the LRIP phase, the Government is executing performance testing on M10 Booker consisting of survivability testing and Production Qualification Testing (PQT). Performance testing during the LRIP phase will include survivability testing and PQT, which consists of vehicle-level lethality, Reliability and Maintainability (RAM), electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing, environmental performance testing, and cybersecurity testing. Government performance testing assesses the M10 Booker's ability to meet design specifications and required capabilities.

Prototype Upgrade to Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Configuration

After a successful Milestone C, eight (8) prototype vehicles will be updated to the initial LRIP configuration to support LRIP phase survivability testing, logistics products development, and implementation of design changes driven by Production Qualification Testing (PQT) and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Upgrading M10 Booker prototypes to LRIP configuration will result in substantial cost avoidance compared with producing additional LRIP vehicles to support test requirements.

Product Development - Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Phase Logistics Products

M10 Booker LRIP logistics development includes updating technical manuals and training materials, verifying field-level supportability by Soldier maintainers, refining National/Depot Maintenance Work Requirements (NMWR/DMWR), provisioning spare parts, and managing the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) program.

Product Development - LRIP Phase Contractor Technical Support to Government Test

Contractor technical support includes specialized assistance to Government performance and operational testing of the M10 Booker, engineering analysis and correction of test incidents, test asset refurbishment, and initiation of design changes based on Soldier feedback and emerging test results.

Contract Close-Out (T4C)

Costs associated with the partial Termination of Convenience (T4C), issued 11 June 2025 to GDLS to cease all activities on the M10 Booker program.

Government Engineering and Project Management

Includes all necessary costs (salaries, travel, training, supplies, facilities, equipment, and support contractors) for Government program management and system engineering support necessary to manage development of the M10 Booker during the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase.

Training Aids and Devices Development

Development of training aids and devices will facilitate Soldier instruction of M10 Booker operations and maintenance. Specific devices include development of a Gunnery Training System and development of a suite of devices to train vehicle maintenance.

Government Test and Evaluation (Operational Testing)

During Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase, the Government will execute a Company-Level Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). The IOT&E activities began in FY 2024 and will conclude in FY 2025.
