Self-Propelled Howitzer-Modernization (SPH-M) Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) Industry Day Notice

The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) has issued a Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP) for the Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) to research, develop, and experiment with mature and available wheeled MTC systems and associated resupply vehicles. The objective is to prototype MTC systems to replace current artillery, allowing soldiers to train, determine logistical needs, and integrate with US Army doctrine. The government anticipates awarding one Prototype Project Agreement (PPA) with potential for follow-on production. Proposals must be submitted via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) and include eligibility, technical, schedule, and cost volumes, along with a completed PPA and certifications. Proposals will be evaluated on technical performance, maturity, U.S. integration, delivery schedule, and prototype unit cost, with AI tools assisting in the evaluation process. The government aims to make an award without discussions and reserves the right to cancel the RPP at any time.

The U.S. Army is seeking a Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) system to replace current artillery, specifically the M777 towed howitzer, in various brigade combat teams. The project has near-term objectives (within 24 months) focusing on U.S. Army testing, soldier experimentation, ammunition compatibility assessments, and the preliminary transition of the MTC's supply chain and production to the U.S. Long-term objectives (24 months+) include awarding a production contract if successful, completing onshoring, and issuing the MTC to units for experimentation. The contractor will deliver prototype MTC systems, training systems, associated resupply systems, and cannon-breech assemblies for testing. Non-hardware requirements include supporting all testing, providing Contractor Logistics Support, training U.S. Army personnel, and displaying a path to onshoring. The contractor will also be responsible for program management, systems engineering, U.S. fire control and network integration, cybersecurity assessments, ammunition compatibility, supply chain management, and providing technical data and software. Extensive testing and soldier evaluations will be conducted over a period of up to 48 months, with detailed deliverables and strict security and anti-terrorism requirements.

The U.S. Army seeks a Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC) system to replace existing artillery, particularly the M777 howitzer in various Brigade Combat Teams. The project has near-term objectives (within 24 months) including U.S. Army testing, soldier experimentation, ammunition compatibility assessments, and identifying necessary modifications. Long-term goals (24+ months) involve a potential production contract, onshoring of the supply chain, and further testing. The contractor is required to deliver prototype MTC systems, associated resupply systems, training systems, and ammunition. Non-hardware requirements include supporting testing, providing logistics and technical support, offering training to Army personnel, and demonstrating a plan for onshoring production. The period of performance is up to 48 months. Key aspects include integration with U.S. fire control and network systems, cybersecurity assessments, ammunition compatibility, and robust supply chain management, with a strong emphasis on providing comprehensive technical data and software. The project also details extensive testing and soldier evaluation phases, including on-site contractor support and various safety and technical reports.
