5in Rolling Airframe Missile
Abstract
The RAM program is an international cooperative program with the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. The purpose of this program is to develop, test, and field a surface-to-air self-defense system utilizing a dual mode, passive radio frequency/infrared RAM. The baseline system RAM Block 0/1/1A provide defense capability against active and passive anti-ship missiles, very low altitude missiles, and maneuvering missiles through the utilization of passive radio frequency and infrared seekers and a maritime optimized fuse. The RAM Block 2 upgrade programs are a cooperative requirement of the U.S. and Federal Republic of Germany, as agreed to in an international Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and allows RAM to counter emerging, highly maneuverable ASCM threats utilizing advanced seekers while maintaining all the proven capabilities of RAM Block 0/1/1A's accurate terminal guidance, proven lethality, and no shipboard post launch dependence. Funding supports formal Developmental and Operational Testing (DT/OT) scheduled through FY 2018, data analysis, operational/test driven studies, support of combat system performance analysis and identification of operationally relevant improvements. The RAM BLK 2A Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP) will provide software only modifications to the missile and launcher to improve raid performance. The RAM BLK 2B Raid ECP will provide an upgraded seeker and Missile-to-Missile Link (MML) capability to counter emerging complex raid threats. Development and test of RAM BLK 2B Raid ECP will occur through FY 2022.
