5in Rolling Airframe Missile
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to develop a surface-to-air self-defense system utilizing a dual mode, passive Radio Frequency/Infrared 5" RAM. The baseline system (Block 0) provides a self-defense capability against active radar-guided anti-ship missiles and was developed on an equal cost share basis with the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany. The RAM Block 1 provides a capability against passive anti-ship missiles, very low altitude missiles, and maneuvering missiles through the incorporation of an infrared all-the-way mode seeker and improved fuze. The RAM Block 1 MOD 3 upgrade program, which provides an additional capability against helicopters, aircraft and surface craft, is a Cooperative requirement of the U.S. and Federal Republic of Germany agreed to in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by both parties. FY 2011-2017 funding continues development and testing of a Block 2 upgrade to the RAM. This upgrade will allow RAM to regain battle space lost to emerging, more maneuverable ASCM threats. This system is designed to counter anti-ship cruise missile raids and other threats to provide for ship survivability with accurate terminal guidance, proven lethality, and no shipboard post launch dependence.
