What is MEFFV?

• Description from MEFFV Mission Need Statement
  (now archived to be replaced by a pending
  Initial Capabilities Document)
• The MAGTF Expeditionary Family of Fighting
  Vehicles (MEFFV) is a combat vehicle replacement
  project designed to provide the capabilities
  presently conferred by the Light Armored Vehicle
  family and the M1A1 Main Battle Tank.
• It is envisioned that this family of vehicles
  will facilitate and enhance the capabilities of
  Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare through use of
  technologies to significantly improve efficiency
  and lessen the impact of operational and tactical
  logistics.
• The family of vehicles will be designed to
  maximize deployability options while retaining
  the requisite combat capabilities (lethality,
  survivability, mobility, sustainability) to
  perform the roles of the vehicles replaced.
• MEFFV should replace the LAV and Tank fleets when
  they reach their respective End of Service dates
  (2015 and 2020 respectively).

FCS/MEFFV JPO PlanBackground

• 20 Jun 02 Secretary Rumsfeld Memo
• My impression is that the Marines and the Army
  are both looking at tanks and vehicles for the
  2015 to 2020 period. Why shouldnt we require
  that it be a common chassis and that they do it
  joint?
• 2 Apr 03 JROCM 086-03 Gen Pace
• The JROC request the Army and Marine Corps
  establish a FCV JPO to satisfy the program
  requirements of FCS and MEFFV. Request the
  services return to the JROC with a decision brief
  by Sep 03.
• 13 May 03 JROCM 111-03 Gen Pace
• The JROC assigned a Joint Potential Designator
  of Joint and recommended the formation of a
  Joint Program Office, assigning Army as the lead
  service and including US Marine Corps
  representation.
• 01 Mar 04 JROCM 038-04 Gen Pace
• The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)
  reviewed and accepted the Army and Marine Corps
  FCS/MEFFV JPO proposal. The JPO plan will meet
  both Services materiel requirements for future
  combat systems, reduce life cycle costs of these
  systems, and enhance interoperability between the
  services.

FCS/MEFFV JPO PlanKey Tenets
Captured in the inter-service MOA on FCS / MEFFV
Joint Collaboration, signed Aug 2004.

• JPO Tenets
• Collaboration with development of the FCS Network
  Services Integration will be accomplished under
  the Marine Corps participation in the Joint
  Battle Management Command and Control
  initiatives.
• Build from existing Marine Corps/Army
  relationships
• Leverage Army investment in FCS (to include ST)
• Maximum commonality desired within the scope of
  the requirements
• Interoperability required

7
FCS/MEFFV JPO PlanPhasing

• 1. JPO Phase I (FY04-08) Define Marine Corps /
  Joint capabilities/attributes
• Ramp up USMC manning (immediate infusion into FCS
  reqts process)
• Assess common unique attributes for Future
  Force and EMW
• Evaluate trade-space of Increment I vehicles and
  related systems
• Use Early Operational Evaluations to influence
  joint CDD
• Recommend and resource technologies unique to
  Marine applications (Joint MOA w/ DARPA)
• Conduct joint experimentation
• Identify areas of commonality between FCS/MEFFV
• 2. JPO Phase II (FY08 and beyond) Acquisition
• Manage FCS systems development to meet Joint CDD
  for FCS and Increment-Marine (Marine unique
  needs)
• Utilize shared production facilities as much as
  practical
• Manage acquisition of FCS/MEFFV systems
• Manage life cycle of FCS/MEFFV systems with Army
  and Marine units

FCS/MEFFV JPO PlanNetwork Integration Strategy

• Future USMC Architecture being developed by MCCDC
  - will coordinate with TRADOC and USJFCOM to
  ensure architectures are compatible with the
  joint architecture of land forces.
• Future C2 Network being developed by MARCORSYSCOM
  SEI will establish cell at Ft. Monmouth to
  coordinate interoperability with FCS networks.
• MEFFV Product Team will include representatives
  from MCCDC C2 Integration and MARCORSYSCOM C4II
  to ensure MEFFV will be well integrated into the
  future network consistent with the future joint
  architecture

PM MEFFV Team Charter

• Independent PM office reporting to CG
  MARCORSYSCOM (BGen William Catto)
• Teaming with MCCDC Expeditionary Force
  Development Center to support JCIDS
• Team Mission The MEFFV Team is the Marine
  Corps focal point for conducting concept
  development and capabilities refinement of
  mounted and armor units of the MAGTF conducting
  Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) in support
  of the Joint Warfighting Commander consistent
  with MAGTF Command and Control Architectures. In
  conducting these activities, the Team shall
  consider opportunities to equip MAGTF units
  conducting combat support, combat service
  support, and special operations. The team shall
  conduct acquisition planning in anticipation of
  initiation of a MEFFV acquisition program.
  Additionally, the team will be the Commands
  focal point for information on the Armys Unit of
  Action (UA)/Future Combat Systems (FCS).
