Land Attack Tech

Abstract

Project 2020: The Advanced Gun System (AGS) projectile will provide Naval Surface Fires support for DDG 1000 class destroyers from the MK-51 Gun Weapon System (GWS). The AGS projectile will replace the Long Range Land Attack Projectile which was the original 155mm munitions developed for the MK-51 GWS. The development effort focuses on integration of a 155mm guided projectile in the MK-51 GWS which includes modifications to address initialization, dimensional, gun launch, and automated handling interface differences. Components affected by the integration of a 155mm guided projectile include the guided projectile, the propelling charge, the MK-51 Gun Weapon System, and the Total Ship Computing Environment. The program was funded under PE 0204202N DDG 1000 in FY 2017. The capability is planned for Initial Operational Capability in 4QFY2021. This is not a new start. Project 2038: The Advanced Minor Caliber Gun supported non-recurring engineering, component integration, and testing efforts required for capability upgrades to the MK38 Mod 2, a minor caliber gun weapon system. Project 2038 OCO: In order to respond to the Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUONs CC-0558) Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS), the MK 38 MOD 2 Machine Gun System will be upgraded to counter these threats. Fielding is expected to start 1st quarter FY20. Projects 3370 & 3401: The Gun Launched Guided Projectile effort will double the range of the current 5-inch conventional ammunition while meeting multi-mission operational requirements for Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), and Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) missions. This project executes pre milestone (MS) B activities and begins preparations for the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development Phase planned for FY 2020. This includes development of system specifications and interface control documents to support MS B. Maturation of subcomponents and integration risk reduction efforts will be initiated to support MS B Acquisition Milestone and Competitive E&MD Award. The Gun Launched Guided Projectile project was previously funded under the PE 0603925N / Directed Energy and Electronic Weapon Systems (Proj: 3370 Railgun) and 0603795N / Land Attack Tech (Proj: 3370 Railgun). This is not a new start. Proj 9999: The objective is to demonstrate a 5-inch guided projectile capable of conducting Naval Surface Fire Support missions to a range of not less than 26 nautical miles (nmi). Priority consideration will be given to mature designs capable of achieving qualification for fleet introduction in the near term.

Change Summary Explanation
Increase of +$11.606M supports 5-inch guided projectile demonstration. Decrease of -.800M due to BTR from project 3370 Railgun in FY17. Decrease of -.191M due to Efficiency reduction from project 3401 Guided Projectile in FY19. Decrease of -$165.206M removed from project 3401 Guided Projectile through fiscal years 19-22. Increase of $4.0M FY17($0.5M baseline), FY18 ($2.1M OCO) & FY19 ($1.4M OCO) for project 2038 Urgent Operational Need for defense against Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
