Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Center (AC), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought for Mobile Extended Range 120MM Mortar Technologies. This market research aims to assess industry capabilities for a lightweight, high-mobility, indirect fire support system to meet Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) needs. Responses are due March 2, 2026.
Scope of Work
The Army is evaluating capabilities for an extended-range 120mm mortar system to provide indirect fire support for airborne and air assault operations. The system must achieve a 30-50% range increase over existing M120A1 capabilities, offer reduced blast overpressure, and be integrated with a light tactical vehicle for high mobility. The government is interested in new architectures, loading methods, blast mitigation, and novel technologies. Responses can address full systems, sub-systems, products, or propose acting as a Prime Integrator. The program requires full system capability demonstration by 2028 and production rates by FY2034.
