Tender Details

Description

The Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS) Block I and II is a modular family of Tactical Mounted Common Computing Hardware that enables Mission Command interoperability through a family of common Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) that are scalable and tailorable to the mission and vehicle, while reducing weight, size, and power demands from previous legacy computers.

The MFoCS hardware is installed in tactical and combat ground vehicles and provides a modular family of common computing LRUs with multiple levels of processing and display hardware. The MFoCS system design allows for incremental/incidental technology and capability upgrades to be retrofitted into the system via updated LRUs to ensure compatibility with existing cables, mounts, and fielded LRUs.

The MFoCS hardware is ruggedized for use in military environments and is capable of continuous operation over the full set of operational environmental conditions (temperature, shock, vibration, water ingress, nuclear effects, chemical and biological decontamination, etc.).

The Government intends to replace the Block I and II systems with modernized Block III computers further reducing size, weight, and cost.

The Government intends to replace the existing processor and display configuration (commonly known as ‘MFoCS Intermediate-), and the “tablet” based (commonly known as ‘MFoCS Basic-) Logistics and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) systems with an All-In-One (AIO) (aka Smart Display) solution for a majority of the Army-s wheeled platforms.

The Government intends to replace the current “headless” processor unit with an upgraded (processing power, memory, etc.) processor unit in the integrated/firing platforms.

The Government is requesting information from industry to inform its future acquisition strategy, and technical requirements in preparation for a potential future MFoCS Block III Request for Proposals.
