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 RAM Block 2B missile defends against highly maneuverable Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats and emerging complex raid attacks utilizing an advanced seeker and Missile-to-Missile Link (MML) while maintaining all the proven capabilities of previous RAM variants (Block 0/1/1A/2/2A): accurate terminal guidance, proven lethality, and post-launch fire and forget capability. RAM FY 2024 through FY 2028 efforts will focus on integration efforts with the new Combat Systems baselines for Aircraft Carriers and Amphibious platforms (Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Baseline 12 - RAM Integration) to include electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) testing to verify all RAM variants can be loaded and fired from SSDS platforms. Preliminary investigations to support RAM integration on Aegis platforms (Destroyers) will also be conducted. Additionally, efforts will correct issues found during RAM Block 2B development flight tests and include evolutionary agile software development that delivers critical missile software based capability packages to counter emerging threats such as hypersonic weapons.
