Marine Corps Systems Command and Headquarters Marine Corps Command, Control, Communication and Computers, began Wi-Fi installation in air hangars aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, in January 2017. The Proof of Concept is intended to decrease the time needed to order and receive parts, while increasing the range of access Marines have to online resources. By removing wired internet, Marines can execute aircraft maintenance more efficiently. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc.

Brig. Gen. Joseph Shrader, commander of Marine Corps Systems Command, speaks with leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Land Capability Group on Dismounted Soldier Systems during the group’s biannual meeting aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico on April 5. LCG DSS is part of the NATO Army Armaments Group, one of the three main armaments groups subordinate to NATO's Conference of National Armaments Directors. NAAG’s mission is to support nations in achieving the objectives of NATO land force armaments cooperation. It promotes interoperability of alliance and partner armed forces by means of information exchange, materiel standardization and cooperative activities.

The Marine Corps fielded its first tactical information system to come standard with Windows 10 in February. The Combat Operations Center software release 6.0.4 and accompanying hardware deliver improved security and efficiency to Marines in the fleet. The release refreshed computers and software used in Marine combat operations centers, which are tent facilities that serve as the hub for command and control for Marine Corps operations ashore.

The MAGTF Common Handheld program will allow Marines to securely use modern handheld communications devices like tablets and smartphones in tactical environments to make more informed decisions on the go. Marine Corps Systems Command partnered with the National Security Agency’s Commercial Solutions for Classified program to address the unique security considerations inherent in using commercial products for tactical purposes.

Capt. Patrick Owens, a capabilities integration officer at Marine Corps Combat Development and Integration, demonstrates the Common Laser Range Finder-Integrated Capability system used by dismounted Marines to deliver accurate distance and location of targets through built-in laser range technology. The lightweight, handheld GPS device was fielded in February and replaces the larger, multi-item legacy. Now with just one system, Marines can relay accurate coordinates for lethal, on target fire support. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Mathuel Browne) - Capt.

The Joint Operational Energy Command and Control program, initiated in 2014, is focusing on customizing commercial fuel monitoring systems to automate fuel tracking for fleet vehicles and generators. Still in testing, the system will read microchips embedded in the fuel valves of refueling trucks as they resupply fuel-powered assets. Data will then be sent wirelessly to the commander for a visual representation of energy consumption.

Sgt. Trenton Hansen, a Special Reaction Team member from the Marine Corps Base Quantico Provost Marshals Office, uses a Military Enhancement Kit to breach open a door. The MEK provides versatile capabilities to Marine units trained to engage on breaching missions. The kit builds upon the Mossberg M500A2, but gives Marines a shorter, vented breaching barrel and three interchangeable buttstock attachments, including the collapsible buttstock featured in this photo.

Participants weld steel during one of the challenges at Marine Corps Systems Command’s Marine Maker Training course, held Feb. 27 to March 3, aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. The training exposes employees to emerging capabilities essential to solving future Marine needs. During the training, participants used laser cutters, 3D printers, computers, software and other tools to complete daily challenges with guidance from trained experts on the use of the systems.
