5in Rolling Airframe Missile
Abstract
The Rolling Airframe Missile (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 consisting of both a missile launcher and dual mode, passive radio frequency/infrared seeker missiles. The baseline RAM Block 2 missile upgrade program is a cooperative requirement of the U.S. and Federal Republic of Germany and agreed to in a signed international Memorandum of Understanding(MOU). The RAM Block 2 missile defends against emerging, highly maneuverable Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats utilizing advanced seekers while maintaining all the proven capabilities of previous RAM Block 0/1/1A's accurate terminal guidance, proven lethality, and no shipboard post launch dependence. The RAM Block 2 missile is being further upgraded, referred to as the RAM BLK 2A Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP) ECP, via software only modifications to the missile and launcher to improve performance against raid attacks. The latest RAM Block 2 upgrade, referred to as RAM BLK 2B Raid ECP, is in development and will provide an upgraded infrared seeker and Missile-to-Missile Link (MML) capability to counter emerging complex raid attacks. Development and flight testing of the RAM BLK 2B Raid ECP will occur through FY 2022. Funding supports missile/launcher engineering development and testing scheduled through FY 2022, data analysis, operational/test driven studies, support of combat system performance analysis and identification of operationally relevant improvements. FY22 through 26 efforts will focus on correcting issues found during RAM 2B development flight tests. In addition to supporting integration efforts with the new Combat Systems baselines for Carriers, and Amphibious platforms.
