Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2025. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

Description
Description — Family Of Engr Combat and Construction Sets
The Family of Engineering Combat and Construction Sets (ECACS) is a family of systems that will support combat operations by construction engineer teams in urban, rural, and subterranean and dense environments. ECACS sets utilized in the range of urban environments will aid in detection, protection, surveillance, monitoring, evacuation and clearing. ECACS sets utilized in the range rural environments will allow clearing and troop mobility support areas to include airfields, ports, facilities, and roads. All of the ECACS sets support the Grow the Army initiative, which includes MRBC activations, Combat Engineer Company - Armored (CEC-A) unit conversions, and Combat Engineer Company - Infantry (CEC-I) unit conversions. The Hydraulic, Electric, Pneumatic, Petroleum Operated Equipment (HEPPOE) replaces two legacy systems; the Hydraulic Electric Tool Outfit (HETO) and the Pneumatic Tool & Compressor Outfit (PTCO). Currently there is a large capability gap in the field that severely needs this materiel solution for a rapidly available, portable and modernized tool kit for the Engineer community, specifically GAP #11, BCT Lethality and Mobility of the critical large scale ground combat operations gaps and Gap #8, wet gap crossing. It supports missions by clearing buildings for repair and construction, clearing areas around road construction, port openings, transition and reconstruction operations. Supports critical Infrastructure repair and rescue during natural disasters and civil emergencies. Enables civil authority the security and stability in all areas of Theater Construction Operations. Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for Hydraulic Electric Pneumatic Petroleum Operated Equipment (HEPPOE) is 990. The Engineer Equipment Set: Urban Operations, Platoon Set (UOpPS) consists of high technology equipment that provides Soldiers with enhanced capabilities to perform missions in urbanized or complex terrain. The Engineer Equipment Set: Urban Operations, Platoon Set (UOpPS) uniquely fills capability gaps that exist at the platoon level for conducting operations in the range of urban environments, specifically GAP #11, BCT Lethality and Mobility of the critical large scale ground combat operations gaps and Gap #8, wet gap crossing. It provides engineers and Soldiers with specialized tools enabling them to conduct operations in urban environments in a safe, more expedient manner. The components include remote viewing instruments, detectors for explosives and gases, portable welders, metal cutting torches, rescue tools, winch, and battery-operated drills and saws. The set standardizes tools, reducing logistical support and provides a Type Classified (TC)-standard Army system. Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for Urban Operations, Platoon Set (UOpPS) is 1177. The Engineer Equipment Set: Urban Operations, Squad Set (UOpSS) consists of equipment that provides Soldiers with enhanced capabilities to perform missions in urbanized or complex terrain.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
