The DCS Corporation is supporting the Digital Backbone of the U.S. Army Mine Resistance Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program. The Digital Backbone is a system segment of the MRAP Family of Vehicles (FOV). ILS-INC will provide operator and field maintenance technical manuals for each of the different MRAP vehicles in the Digital Backbone program.

The MRAP mission is supported by three categories of vehicle variants. The Category I variants support small unit combat operations in urban or confined areas, Category II variants provide ground logistics support operations, and Category III variants support mine and IED clearing operations.

The role and purpose of the Digital Backbone is to combine various Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems into a cohesive and integrated solution. The Digital Backbone adapts and tailors each MRAP vehicle to specific mission requirements and provides protected ground mobility while operating in a multi-threat environment. Functional capabilities of the MRAP Digital Backbone suite include options for Situational Awareness, Surveillance, Communications, Survivability Defense, Protective Countermeasures, and Lethality.

The DCS Corporation is currently providing the Digital Backbone capabilities on the Caiman, MATV, MaxxPro DASH, MaxxPro PLUS, and RG-31 MRAP vehicles.
