Land Attack Tech

Abstract

The Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) (Project 2156) - Mission supports the Land Attack Technology program element. To meet the United States Marine Corp (USMC) requirements for NSFS, the Navy will assess projectiles and systems capable of meeting requirements including range, lethality, accuracy, and responsiveness. The NSFS program included development of a 5" Extended Range Guided Munition (ERGM) with a coupled Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS) to be fired from the 5"/62 gun (a modification of the existing 5"/54 gun). ERGM was cancelled by USD(AT&L) on 25 July 2008. Cancellation created the need to conduct an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) to determine new solution for NSFS. The Naval Fires Control System (NFCS) (Project 2325) - Automates shipboard land attack battle management duties to be interoperable and consistent with joint C4ISR systems. This shipboard system will significantly improve the Navy's ability to support Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS). The Affordable Weapons System (AWS) (Project 9359A) - Affordable Weapon System-Program previously funded under Project 9359C to conduct a Phase I Study for an Affordable Weapon System (AWS). Phase I included mission concept analysis, mission analysis, system architecture analysis, fly-away cost analysis with life cycle cost impacts, and system engineering for a sea-based land attack and strike mission capable precision strike weapon. The proposed system(s) will operate from ships with potential sea-based Navy/Marine Corps aircraft launch and submarine capability of defeating targets at standoff ranges, and can rapidly complete the engagement phase consistent with making the kill chain short. The potential AWS(s) will not exceed $250K in fly-away cost. Phase II was funded to exercise contract options for contractor preferred system concept(s), which will be supported by system engineering, best material approach(es), risk analysis, and future plans, while updating fly-away costs and life cycle impacts. 76mm Swarmbuster Capability (Project 9D60A) - (FY09/FY10) Supports efforts to integrate the MK 75 with Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) for ASuW capability against swarming boats. Hybrid Propellant for Medium and Large Caliber Ammunition (Project 10C130) - Funding will assess potential usage of domestically produced propellants to support performance goals of the Navy. 76mm Testing and Integration (Project 9E34A) - New effort will support the testing and integration of the 76mm MK 75 Mod 2 Gun Mount being integrated with the MK 160 Fire Control System and Optical Sight System.
