AMRAAM

Abstract

This joint Navy/Air Force program is structured in response to the Joint Service Operational Requirement and Mission Element Need Statement to develop an air superiority air-to-air missile with significant improvements in operational utility and combat effectiveness. This program supports the integration of the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) into Navy aircraft with analysis of Navy unique applications, aircraft missile integration tasks, product improvement efforts including missile software upgrade development and procurement of hardware to support Navy test and evaluation tasks. 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 and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: FY15 funding increase supports Electronic Protection Improvement Program (EPIP) efforts. Schedule: The F/A-18E/F Operational Test (OT) schedule growth was driven by software fixes, which paused testing until May 2013. Further testing delays were the result of sequestration, furlough, target aircraft grounding and the government shutdown. Forecast Initial Operational Capability (IOC) dates were shifted consistent with the delay in the completion of OT. Advanced EPIP AIM-120C7 is being divided into two software releases to permit fielding of incremental improvements against advanced electronic attack threats as soon as possible. Updated to reflect estimate of contract restructure dates pending receipt of proposal in mid February 2014. Schedule growth for Basic and Advanced EPIP for AIM-120D due to additional scope to address Operational Test issues.
