Description
Description — Modification Of In-Svc Equipment (OPA-3)
PdM Engineer, Maintenance & Support Equipment (EMSE) Modification of In-Service Equipment program, funds the Metal Working and Machining Shop Set (MWMSS), which provides the capability to fabricate replacement parts; the Armament Repair Shop Set (ARSS) which provides maintenance and repair for weapons, allowing major combat systems to return to the fight rapidly; The Fire Suppression Refill System (FSRS) provides the capability to refill fire suppression systems in combat vehicles. The Refrigeration Tool Kit (RTK) is comprised of two types that will modernize legacy kits to support equipment that has refrigerant systems; the Forward Repair System (FRS) which is a mobile, forward deployed maintenance repair shop; the Shop Equipment Welding (SEW) and the Next Generation Shop Equipment Welding (NG SEW) provides state of the art welding equipment with capability to perform battlefield welding and cutting operations; the Hydraulic System Test and Repair Unit (HSTRU) is the Army's only mobile hydraulic diagnosis and repair system. The MWMSS directly supports Soldier Lethality, Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) and Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), as well as addresses GAPs 10 and 17 enabling rapid repair at the point-of-need through fabrication using additive (3D printers) and subtractive manufacturing capabilities. The Firefighter Individual Requirements Set (FIRES) is a set of hardware components necessary for directly supporting MOS 12M Firefighters to perform Mission Essential Wartime Requirements (MEWR) duties and is a critical life support & safety system for Soldiers. FIRES must be modernized to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and is not in compliance today resulting in Army firefighters to be at risk for injury or death. The set contains Knife Rescue, Flashlight LED, Rescue Tool, Backpack Black, Hydration Reservoir, Chest Harness Radio, Helmet Light, Fire Shelter, Face Mask, Protective Mask Canister, Air Cylinder Assembly, Black Case. The Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is the air mask and air cylinder that firefighters wear to protect their lungs and prevent smoke inhalation during a firefighting mission. The SCBA also contains a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) when missions require actively filtered air or durations longer than a bottle can supply. PdM EMSE manages the Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Modification of In-Service Equipment program which funds system modifications and modernization initiatives across the MHE portfolio, to include the Rough Terrain Container Handler (RTCH); All-Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS); and Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklift (LCRTF). These improvements will decrease rising sustainment costs and bridge the gap until new system procurement in future years. These programs serve as critical enablers in support of the National Defense Strategy and to the operational force by providing the capabilities necessary to (1) clear landing zones of supplies and equipment, load and unload combat vehicles and aircraft as well as moving some artillery assets, ammunition and supplies and (2) perform port opening operations, logistics movement, and unloading and loading of containers that handle break-bulk cargo at seaports, railheads, and airports. The LCRTF is the only rugged forklift in the U.S. Army's inventory which can rapidly enter, pack, and unpack ISO containers, load and unload tactical vehicles and trailers, and lift and move light equipment and cargo. The RTCH represents a key enabler during Joint Logistics Over the Shore Operations (JLOTS) and lifts, moves, and stacks 20- and 40-foot ISO freight containers. In addition, program funds support the procurement and fielding of RTCH Special Tools Kits required to meet Field Level Maintenance requirements per the current Technical Manual for the aging legacy fleet. PdM EMSE manages the Construction Equipment (CE) Modification of In-Service Equipment program which funds system modifications and modernization initiatives across the CE portfolio, to include the High Mobility Engineer Excavator (HMEE); Engineer Rapid Airfield Construction Capability (ERACC) for Dozers, Graders, Scrapers; Family of Loaders (FOL); Skid Steer Loader (SSL); Tractor Full Tracked; Grader; Scrapers and DEUCE; and Hydraulic Excavators (HYEX). These programs serve as critical enablers in support of the National Defense Strategy and to the operational force by providing the capabilities necessary (1) general construction tasks; (2) to construct, maintain and repair airfields, runways, main supply routes, logistical facilities, roads, helipads, and ports of entry/debarkation; (3) to repair and keep open Line of Communications resulting in increased force mobility, maneuverability, deployability, sustainability; and (4) to enhance force infrastructure protection across a range of military operations. Improvements made to these systems will decrease rising sustainment costs and bridge the gap until new system procurement in future years. Army Watercraft Systems (AWS) support Dynamic Force Repositioning (DFR) and provides the Combatant and Multi-Domain Task Force Commander with organic waterborne lift capability that can deliver today's Army maneuver platforms and equipment, and supply bulk fuel and water across the full spectrum of operations with increased speed and lower draft; and mitigates anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threat by providing access to shallow coastal waters, rivers, in narrow inland waterways in support of dispersed force elements in austere environments and where mature ports or road networks are unavailable. The modification of in-service equipment is critical to the success of the Army's Watercraft Transformation Strategy (AWTS) and fulfillment of the AWS Title 10 mission. In general, all Army Watercraft funding will support the personnel, engineering design, testing, hardware procurement, and application in support of improvements, modifications and changes to resolve problems identified in the field and approved by the product office. Supports initiatives to enhance the seaworthiness, safety, and survivability while increasing the maintainability, lethality, tactical mobility, and operational capability of the Army Mariner to preserve the Combatant Commanders requirement of "freedom of seas" access in all areas of the world particularly the littorals, to support maneuver operations in all Areas of Responsibility. All modification and services efforts address maintaining operational readiness rates, improving vessel safety and operation, and integrate new equipment. Efforts are critical enablers for the success Army's Watercraft Systems Transformation Strategy (AWSTS) and continued fulfillment of the AWS Title 10 mission. Army Watercraft Systems are categorized under Landing Craft, Towing and Terminal Operations, Ship-to-Shore Enablers and Watercraft Operations Support. Landing Craft consist of Logistic Support Vessels (LSV), Landing Craft Utility 2000 (LCU-2000), Landing Craft Mechanized 8 (LCM-8) MOD 1, and LCM-8 MOD 2 (Watercraft Operations Support) and the Maneuver Support Vessel-Light (MSV(L)). Towing and Terminal Operations consist of Small Tug 900 (ST-900). Ship-to-Shore Enablers consist of Modular Causeway Systems (MCS) [each MCS includes Roll-On/Roll-Off Discharge Facilities (RRDF), Modular Warping Tugs (MWT), Causeway Ferry (CF), Floating Causeway (FC)]. Modification kits provide proven capabilities to reduce logistical, environmental, resource and operational energy burdens in forward deployed Force Provider base camps resulting in a significant impact on Soldier safety by reducing dangerous and risky resupply missions that result in casualties. In addition to saving lives, this is a fiscally and environmentally responsible investment as these capabilities have a quick return on investment in sustained operations. For example: Energy Efficiency modifications to shelters reduce solar loading by 85% and cooling and heating demands in turn reducing the fuel demand by 35% to power environmental control-ROI is within 180 days; the Power distribution Micro-grid component provides auto on/off capabilities for generators based upon load demand, reducing fuel consumed by over 30%-ROI is with 150 days; and the solid waste disposal piece will provide a safe and efficient capability to dispose of waste generated in the base camp. The Expeditionary Solid Waste Disposal System (ESWDS) will reduce the use of burn pits by providing an environmentally responsible solution for onsite disposal of 1,000 lbs. of solid waste per day. The ESWDS will also reduce Soldier, civilian, and local population exposure to harmful pollutants from open air burn pits; reduce the amount of trash that must be backhauled, reducing Soldiers' exposure and attacks during convoy operations; reduce the waste held onsite also deters potential vermin that could spread disease and disrupt mission and eliminate the security risk from uncontrolled access to trash. The requirement to phase out burn pits is also driven by the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Containerized Ice Making System (CIMS) provides a self-contained capability to produce potable ice on-site for the Force Provider Expeditionary (FPE) 150 person camp and other small base camps. It is containerized for transport in three TRICON containers with a maximum weight of 10,000 Lbs. The CIMS system will draw water from a potable source, manufacture ice cubes and automatically package them in 10 lb. bags. It can produce 3,000 lbs./day of ice to support 750 Soldiers per day, and store 120 bags of ice at any one time. Local ice production rather than external supply ensures safe product, reduces the number of vehicles needed for resupply convoys, as well as the material handling and waste burdens associated with palletized ice bundles. The Food Sanitation Center (FSC) will correct safety and operational shortfalls identified by the user and combat developer by retrofitting older FSCs with improvements from the current version. The modification kit includes automatic thermostatic water temperature control and a transfer pump. These modifications will improve operator safety, and overall sanitation effectiveness while reducing water consumption and environmental impact. The Field Feeding Containerized Kitchen (CK) is the kitchen that feeds the Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs), each providing up to three hot meals per day for 800 Soldiers to maintain combat effectiveness in the field. Modifications are needed to address issues negatively effecting Soldier safety and health and to improve system readiness. Soldier injuries have resulted from equipment failures and procedural errors. Interior temperatures can reach over 150F in hot weather. Carbon Monoxide hazards have resulted in multiple CO poisoning incidents. Field applied engineering change kits include improved burner exhaust provisions, heat removal, replacement of failing winches, and other improvements for better durability, sustainability and safety. FY25 funding will be provided to establish and initially maintain a repair and return initiative to implement on-board equipment and trailer repair for designated CK's across the fleet, as well as replace basic items on an Inspect Repair Only As Necessary (IROAN) basis. This will increase operational readiness rates and support mission deployments. The AN/PSS-14C is an enabler for Soldier Lethality as it guarantees Soldier maneuverability by enhancing the probability and speed of detection of buried landmines and IEDs allowing for increased speed of dismounted operations making the unit more efficient and lethal. The modifications will include retrofitting fielded systems with previously purchased upgrade kits that include new electronic boards, hand controller hardware, and updated software. These upgrades will require training/fielding of the system to address changes in the system operation from current software/hardware configuration. The M41A1 Protection Assessment Test System (PATS) is a military version of a commercial device - TSI's "Model 8020M PortaCount Respirator Fit Tester" with accessories and carrying case comprise a system designed to check the readiness of protective masks. The M41A1 PATS instrument is one man portable, approximately 200 cubic inches in size, weighs 4 pounds, and is based on a miniature Condensation Nucleus Counter that continuously samples and counts individual particles naturally occurring in the surrounding air. The M41A1 PATS measures the concentration of these particles inside and outside the mask and calculates a Fit Factor (FF). The PATS is designed to verify that a protective mask, while worn by a Soldier, is capable of providing a minimum Army requirement FF of 1667. The PATS verifies: (1) the fit of the mask to the soldiers' face is acceptable, and (2) there are no critical leaks in the mask system. In addition to these features, the PATS can also be used to help screen for unserviceable masks, assist in determining if Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) have been conducted properly on critical components, and assist in training personnel on the proper wearing of the mask. A modernized PATS is needed as the legacy system is no longer manufacturable due to technological obsolescence of critical calibration components. The modernized M41A1 PATS will have modern technologies and updated components, such as circuit boards, rendering them producible, manufacturable and can be maintained into FY2035. The M139 Volcano Mine Dispensing system is the Class VII system for delivering Family of Scatterable Mines (FASCAM) from ground vehicles and the UH-60M Blackhawk. The in-service modification will continue recapitalization of M139 components and mounting hardware to extend service life. The Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) system is used to breach vehicle-wide paths through obstacles, primarily minefields. The primary class VII system elements are the MK155 mod 3 Launcher and M200A1 2.5 Ton Generator Trailer. Initial fielding was in the late 1980s. Serviceability issues for the aging fleet are contributing to readiness problems. Funding for the MICLIC RECAP effort will support the integration of M200A1 trailers and refurbished and modified unserviceable MK155 Launchers into the full MICLIC capability. The Modular Fuel System (MFS) Tank Rack Module (TRM) is a 2,500-gallon mobile storage and distribution platform. It is configured in a 20-foot International Organization for Standardization (ISO) frame with integrated bale bar and is Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck-Load Handling System (HEMTT-LHS), Palletized Load Handling System (PLS) and PLS Trailer transportable. The MFS-TRM has a Stand-Alone Retail Capability (S-ARC) with its integrated continuous use electric pump, filter separator and flow meter. It can be operated while truck or trailer mounted or on the ground. The MFS-TRM can also be coupled with the HEMTT Tanker to form a highly mobile 5,000-gallon distribution platform within Brigade Combat Teams. The MFS provides the ability to rapidly establish a fuel distribution and storage capability at any location regardless of the availability of construction equipment or material handling equipment. The AAO is 4,192 TRMs. The Dry Support Bridge (DSB) is the Multi-Role Bridging Company's mobile tactical bridging platform. The DSB is employed in tactical and assault contingency situations when a longer bridging span is required to maintain forward momentum of joint maneuver forces. The 40 meter DSB can span a 40 meter gap or two 20 meter gaps. The 46 meter bridge can span a 46 meter gap or two 28 meter gaps (with 46 meter retrofit upgrade). Both have a crossing weight capability of Military Load Class (MLC) 96 normal/120 under caution (Wheeled) and MLC 80 (Tracked). The DSB has a road width of 4.3 meters and an emplacement time of 90 minutes or less, with little or no site preparation. The Rapidly Emplaced Bridge System (REBS) is a self-deployable/retrievable bridge that provides the SBCT and IBCT with an organic tactical gap crossing capability. The REBS can be employed by two Soldiers in less than ten minutes and is air transportable by C-130. The system is transported across the battlefield by a Heavy Tactical Common Bridge Transporter (CBT) and is comprised of two bridge halves and a pallet that is utilized to launch and retrieve the bridge. REBS is capable of crossing a 13 meter gap with an MLC of 40 normal and 50 caution. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestics emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
