## What project DP7 buys

The Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense Increment 4 (M-SHORAD Inc 4) provides Air Defense capability for Joint Forcible Entry (JFE) and Mobile Brigade Combat Team (MBCT) forces. The USG is currently in the Material Solution Analysis phase. A Request for Information (RFI) was issued on 4 March 2026 to evaluate industry's ability and willingness to support the prototype development of a new SHORAD capability. This capability will align with the desired characteristics outlined in the M-SHORAD Inc 4 Abbreviated Capability Development Document (A-CDD).

**R-3 lines of work:** Management Services; Product Development.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
