Tomahawk Mssn Planning Ctr

Abstract

Funds support development of the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) encompassing Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile (TLAM) upgrades, initiate baseline improvements into the Block IV weapon system, Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Controls System (TTWCS), Tomahawk Mission Planning Center (TMPC) upgrades and other missile system improvements to maintain pace with threats. The TWS provides a Tomahawk cruise missile attack capability against fixed and mobile targets. 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 initial funding for the NGLAW Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). 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
The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $1.546 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: FY16 increase in funding will be used to continue Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) navigation improvements and A2AD communication upgrades as well as initiate baseline improvements into the Block IV Tomahawk weapon system to be incorporated as part of the recertification of the Tactical Tomahawk (TACTOM). Schedule: PU 3378- Removed FY16-FY20 schedule due to Next Generation Land Attack Weapon moving from Program Element 0204229N (Tomahawk Mission Planning Center) to 0604659N (Precision Strike Weapons Development Program. AoA changed to AoA preparation and will now begin in Q2 FY15 due to delays associated with the congressional enactment of a new start program. Added acquisition milestone Mission Technical Baseline/Capabilities Baseline Assessment (CBA/MTB) to 2Q-3Q FY15. Added completion of acquisition milestone CBA to Q4 2015 PU 0545- Tomahawk Mission Planning Center (TMPC) Final Operational Capability (FOC) milestone dates were removed and replaced by TMPC Initial Operational Capability (IOC) dates for TMPC versions 5.0.1 and 6.0. TMPC is post MS-C /in sustainment and IOC is an acquisition milestone that is tracked and included in all the program acquisition documents for the TMPC program. System Readiness Review and System Functionality Review due to updated System Engineering Technical Review (SETR) Strategy. Navigation reviews were deleted due to Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) navigation and communications taking place concurrently. Baseline improvement Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) kit contract award and 1st modernized TACTOM missile delivery schedule added due to further development of the Tomahawk modernization acquisition strategy. TTWCS V5.6 Developmental Test/Operational Test (DT/OT) added as part of the baseline improvement upgrades into the Block IV weapon system. A2AD navigation and communications previous schedules still reflected remnants of image navigation. Cancellation of image navigation and continued A2AD navigation program planning, as well as the approval of A2AD communications for transition, have caused changes to the overall Tomahawk modernization schedule.
