Tomahawk Mssn Planning Ctr
Abstract
Funds support development of the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) encompassing Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile (TLAM) upgrades, Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Controls System (TTWCS), Tomahawk Command and Control System (TC2S) upgrades and other missile system improvements. The TWS provides a Tomahawk cruise missile attack capability against fixed and mobile targets. The TLAM can be fitted with either Conventional unitary warhead (TLAM/C) or submunition Dispenser (TLAM/D). Tomahawk is capable of being deployed from both submarines and surface ships. Launched from mobile, sea-based platforms, the land attack variant significantly increases the total capability of joint forces. This Program Element also includes funding for the NGLAW Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and resultant follow-on development of a long range, survivable strike capability. This program is funded under Operational Systems Development because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for Full Rate Production (FRP) and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: FY15 increase in funding will be used to continue Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) Navigation Improvements and initiate A2AD communications upgrades into Block IV weapons systems. A2AD communications Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review and Operational Test Readiness Review were added to the schedule as a result. Funding was also added to Project Unit 3378, Next Generation Land Attack Weapon, for the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and resultant follow-on development of a long range, survivable strike capability. Schedule: Changes to the R-4 schedule include updating all Image Navigation specific language and replacing it with Anti-Access/Area Denial(A2AD). The A2AD Preliminary Design Review and Critical Design Review dates have each slipped by 1 QTR as a result of restructuring program scope to existing Tomahawk segments to plan and execute GPS denied missions. As a result of changes to the program's Hardware Development acquisition strategy, Tactical Tomahawk Full Rate Production was removed. A2AD Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) and A2AD Navigation Fleet Release have slipped due to contractor performance on preceding Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts. The contractor was expected to be at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6/7 by the end of delivery order 3 (Jun 2013), and have only achieved TRL 5/6. Subsequently, an additional delivery order was added to that Basic Ordering Agreement which is no longer being pursued. Changes within the R-4 schedule profile to the TTWCS schedule include the deletion of the v5.4.1 future operational capability milestone as v5.4.1 has been deferred and v5.4.0.2 has replaced it in 3rd quarter 2016 as the program of record, as approved by PEO (U&W) on January 24, 2013. Per this decision, v5.4.0.2 milestones replace v5.4.1 milestones. This includes v5.4.0.2 Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR) replacing v5.4.1 test readiness review in 4th quarter 2015, Fleet release will occur after v5.4.0.2 OTRR in 2nd quarter 2016. Changes within the R-4 schedule profile to TC2S include changing TC2S 4.3 FOC from 3QFY12 to 4QFY15 as a result of changes in ship availabilities and budget reductions due to FY13 sequestration. The 5.0.1 FOC was delayed from 2QFY15 to 4QFY17 due to schedule delays with the fielding of TC2S 4.3.
