Mobile Maintenance Equipment Systems

The Mobile Maintenance Equipment Systems (MMES) program is a critical Army initiative designed to enhance the readiness and sustainment of combat and combat support systems through a comprehensive, modular system-of-systems approach. The primary goal of MMES is to provide two-level maintenance capability to the Warfighter, significantly increasing the ability of forward maintenance units to conduct battlefield repairs. This supports key Army modernization priorities such as Soldier Lethality, Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), and Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), while also addressing identified capability gaps. The MMES family includes several inter-connected maintenance systems distributed across Army echelons, ensuring holistic repair capabilities in all operational environments.

The Metal Working and Machining Shop Set (MWMSS) is a containerized, expeditionary system that consolidates metal working and fabrication capabilities for the Allied Trades Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 91E and 914 Warrant Officers. Its objectives are to enable rapid, on-demand repair and fabrication at the point of contact, including additive manufacturing (3D printing) and traditional machining, welding, and cutting. The MWMSS supports a significant portion of Brigade Combat Team (BCT) metal working needs and all additive manufacturing requirements, directly contributing to battlefield repair and reducing logistics footprint. Funding will procure additional Type I and Type II systems, with production at the Joint Manufacturing Technology Center (JMTC), Rock Island, IL.

The Fire Suppression Refill System (FSRS) is the Army's only deployable system capable of producing nitrogen and refilling fire suppression and nitrogen bottles for a wide range of combat platforms. Its goal is to support the operational readiness of vehicles such as Abrams, JLTV, Stryker, and Paladin by providing a modular, transportable refill capability at the point of need. The FSRS is fielded in Support Maintenance Companies (SMCs) and Field Maintenance Companies (FMCs) and is produced at JMTC, Rock Island, IL. Funding will procure additional FSRS units, including support equipment, fielding, and training.

The Armament Repair Shop Set (ARSS) is a modular, mobile maintenance shop that replaces multiple legacy shop sets, supporting maintenance and forward repair for all Army weapon and armament systems. Its objectives are to increase on-site maintenance proficiency, reduce tool redundancy, and minimize the logistical footprint by consolidating four shop sets into one. The ARSS is fielded to various brigade and support units and is produced at Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA. Funding will procure additional ARSS units and associated support.

The Next Generation Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance (NG SECM) is a mobile maintenance shelter mounted on a HMMWV, designed as a first responder for immediate field-level maintenance of battle-damaged equipment. Its objective is to provide rapid, forward-deployed repair capability, increasing equipment availability and reducing the need for recovery operations. Funding will procure additional NG SECM shelters for integration onto existing HMMWVs, with production and integration conducted by JMTC, Rock Island, IL.

The Next Generation Shop Equipment Welding Trailer (NG SEW) provides a full range of welding and metal cutting capabilities in a rapidly deployable trailer format, supporting repairs in all environmental conditions. Its purpose is to enable forward maintenance units to conduct critical welding and cutting tasks necessary for battle damage repair. Funding will procure additional NG SEW trailers, with production at JMTC, Rock Island, IL.

The Refrigeration Tool Kit (RTK) is a standardized set of commercial off-the-shelf tools and refrigeration equipment for maintenance of Environmental Control Units (ECUs) and other refrigeration systems. The kit supports regulatory compliance with EPA and Clean Air Act requirements, including the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and is essential for medical, command, and humanitarian operations. Funding will procure additional RTK kits, with production by Beyond Vision, Milwaukee, WI.
