Land Attack Tech

Abstract

Project 2020: The Advanced Gun System (AGS) projectile will provide affordable Naval Surface Fires Support for DDG 1000 class destroyers from the MK 51 Gun Weapon System (commonly referred to as AGS). Initiation of a demonstration and development planning for an affordable round was directed by Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Research, Development, and Acquisition to address the unaffordability of the Long Range Land Attack Projectile. The effort focuses on integration of an affordable 155mm guided projectile in the MK 51 GWS. Several options were assessed in FY17 and determined to be unaffordable; additional studies are planned to assess longer term options or options not previously considered to identify potential candidates for projectile replacement. The program was funded under PE 0204202N DDG 1000 in FY 2017. Project 2038 Base & OCO: The MK 38 MOD 3 Machine Gun System (MGS) provides Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) and Anti-terrorism and Force Protection (AT/FP) capability as a simple, stabilized, low cost solution to outfit near-term deployers to counter small boat threats. Over 300 systems are installed on U.S. Navy AS, CG, CVN, DDG, LCC, LHA, LHD, LSD, OSV, PC class ships and MK VI Patrol Boats. In order to respond to the Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUONS CC-0558) Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), the MK 38 MOD 3 MGS' electro-optical/infra-red sensor, hardware, and software is being upgraded to counter emerging unmanned aerial threats. Fielding of initial capability will start in fourth quarter of FY19. Incremental improvements will be made in the out years to further improve on accuracy, effective range, and lethality. Starting in FY20, further development will improve the MK 38 MGS' accuracy, lethality, and effective range to counter unmanned air (C-UAS) and unmanned surface (C-USV) threats with integration to highly accurate fire control system, 30mm gun, and targeting sensor. Projects 3401 & C452: The Gun Launched Guided Projectile provides initial operational capability for Cruise Missile Defense (CMD) with potential future Surface Warfare and Naval Surface Fire Support capability. This project implements a materiel design decision, conducts integration enabling technology maturation, and prepares for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD) development in FY21. 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).

Change Summary Explanation
Land Attack Tech: FY19 -$8.429M net adjustment due to: Project 3401 lack of program funding: -$14.829M; Program Increase - Guided projectile C452: +$5.000M; and other program adjustments: +$1.400M. PU 3401: FY20-FY24 increase of +$25.258M continues development of GLGP Block 0, which otherwise ends in FY19. GLGP Block 0 provides multi-mission capabilities for SuW, NSFS , and limited AW aboard DDG/CG platforms equipped with MK45 MOD 4 Guns. Funds also provided in out years to enable request for proposal (RFP). PU 2038: FY20-FY24 increase of +$19.332M continues to support Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) JUON. The FY 2020 funding request was reduced by $4.616 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
