Harm Improvement

Abstract

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation funding for the Joint Service Pre-Planned Product Improvement program which will include near and far term performance improvements, cost reduction, and studies that establish future development requirements. Specific initial efforts include lower cost seeker component development and seeker aided fuzing to enhance warhead performance in low angle impacts and against certain ship targets. This excludes civilian and military manpower and their related costs and military construction costs which will be included in appropriate management and support elements.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile - Entered Operational Test C in 3Q FY 2010. In 4Q FY 2010, AARGM was decertified as a result of intermittent hardware and software failures. Failures have been corrected via updated software and the system is currently in Integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E). Operational Test C is scheduled to resume 3Q FY 2011. Delay will impact Initial Operational Capability (IOC) and Full Rate Production (FRP) dates. IOC slipped from 1Q FY 2011 to 3Q FY 2011, LRIP 2 deliveries moved from 2Q FY 2011 to 3Q FY 2011. FRP decision slipped from 2Q FY 2011 to 2Q FY 2012. FRP Lot 1 contract award slipped from 2Q FY 2011 to 3Q FY 2012. FRP Lot 2 contract award slipped from 1Q FY 2012 to 3Q FY 2013 and Full Operational Capability has slipped from 2Q FY 2013 to 4Q FY 2013 as result of FRP decision being delayed. Advanced Precision Kill Weapons Systems - Milestone C slid from 2Q FY 2010 to 3Q FY 2010 due to unanticipated Wing Slot Seal issues which caused a delay in the completion of Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Assessment (OA) testing. As a result in DT and OA testing delays, Low Rate Initial Production deliveries have slid from 2Q FY 2010 to 2Q FY 2011. Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) slid from 2Q FY 2011 to 3Q FY 2011. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) slid from 2Q FY 2011 to 3Q FY 2011. FRP deliveries slid from 2Q FY 2012 to 2Q FY 2013. Medusa - Performance Specifications and Capability Development Document (CDD) slid from 1Q FY11 to 4Q FY 2011 due to a delay in the Low Cost Imaging Terminal Seeker - Future Naval Capability final test event. Technical information from the final test event is needed for Performance Specifications and CDD development. Due to delay in program, the Military Utility Assessment has been delayed indefinitely.
