MSPIX 25 Technology Call

1. Intent. The Maneuver Support Capability Development Integration Directorate (MS CDID) will host Maneuver Support & Protection Integration eXperiments 2025 ((MSPIX 25). MSPIX 25 will examine capabilities and concepts designed to address modernization needs for Maneuver Support and Protection.

MSPIX provides a centralized experimentation and analysis process for technologies that may provide desired capabilities, verifies critical operational data, and makes recommendations for further development and additional improvements based on the analysis. MSPIX 25 will inform future capability requirements in support of Multi-Domain Operations that will directly align with the Army Modernization Priorities.

2. Timeline. Submissions are due in accordance with Enclosure 2; MSPIX 25 Submitter’s Guide, at Paragraph A. All dates are projected and may shift.

3. Experiment Objectives. The MSPIX25 Experiment Objective follows. See Enclosures 1 & 3 for more information regarding desired capabilities.

Objective: Assess potential material opportunities to better enable Maneuver Support & Protection contributions to Multi Domain Operations (MDO).

Specifically: A. Capability that provides the Maneuver Commander with predictive and real-time protection related information. B. Capability to cross wet gaps. C. Camouflage & Obscuration. D. Capability to conduct Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) Site Assessment.

4. Technology Selection Process. A. All proposals must be submitted electronically to usarmy.leonardwood.mscoe.mbx.MSPIX@army.mil NLT 30 April 2024. See Encl 2-5 for detailed instructions on how to submit a proposal for consideration. B. Selected technologies will be reviewed by proponent numerous organizations for sponsorship.

Sponsors are responsible for: 1) Identifying linkage to modernization priorities, 2) Identifying learning demands associated with each technology, 3) Assisting with the development of employment vignettes and identifying skill sets (MOS, ASI/SQI, etc…) and number of Soldiers required for each technology, 4) Participation in MSPIX planning meetings, and 5) identification of how the results will be leveraged after the final report is completed.

C. Candidate technology participation must be funded by the proposing organization (aka Technology Providers). Technology providers will pay all costs associated with including the capability in MSPIX. Typical expenses include development, transportation, training, and sustaining selected technologies during the experiment period.

D. The Point of Contact (POC) for technology submissions and questions pertaining to the selection process at Maneuver Support Battle Lab is Mr. Dennis Hutchinson at (573) 563-5253 or dennis.g.hutchinson.civ@army.mil Enclosure 1:
