Mission Partner Environment (MPE) enables secure sharing of operational information for collaboration between and among the United States (US) and mission partners to include federal, state, local, tribal agencies, allies, coalition members, host nations, other nations, US and international Non-Governmental Organizations, multinational treaty organizations, and private sector organizations. The MPE program enables the US Department of War (DoW) to execute its assigned missions with mission partners across all ranges and phases of military operations to enable combined command and control (C2) of coalition forces while promoting effective exchange of C2 and intelligence information to enable effective use of the US and partner nation military power. MPE improves survivability and lethality of US Forces by incorporating coalition partners and allies ability to share information in a secret and below releasable environment. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Funds supported the legacy MPE capabilities including PEGASUS, the Combined Federated Battle Labs Network (CFBLNet), Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Interoperability (C4I) Services Operations Group CSOG. New resources: • Support modular drone agnostic accessories and precision payload system. Resources will accelerate the testing, prototyping and integration of the Zeus Multi-Mission Missile System, an advanced weapon system designed for special operations missions. This development will close a capability gap caused by 30-40-year-old legacy weapons that are…

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

Mission Partner Environment (MPE) enables secure sharing of operational information for collaboration between and among the United States (US) and mission partners to include federal, state, local, tribal agencies, allies, coalition members, host nations, other nations, US and international Non-Governmental Organizations, multinational treaty organizations, and private sector organizations.

Performance-based contracts are primarily used for this support. MPE maximizes the use of competitive awards and uses various contract types, employs large and small contractors, and is focused to achieve agency socio-economic goals and incorporate DoD acquisition reform initiatives.
