Standard Missile Improvements

Abstract

Standard Missile (SM) is the Navy's premier Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) missile, providing both area air defense for the fleet and self defense for individual AEGIS CGs and DDGs, as required by the Joint Theater Air Missile Defense (TAMD), Mission Need Statement (MNS), Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), and Ship Class AAW Self Defense Capstone Requirements Document. Agility, fuzing, and computer modifications to SM are in development to restore performance in the near term against a specific existing proliferating Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threat. Continuous analysis of missile capabilities vs. ever-evolving and proliferating aircraft and ASCM threats and long-range planning are required to keep pace with the threat. Modifications to SM-2 BLK IIIA are required for use on DDG-1000 class destroyers. The Joint Universal Waveform Link (JUWL) will be integrated with the Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM) and Standard Missile to communicate with the DDG-1000 SPY-3 radar. SM-2 missile software will be updated with interrupted continuous wave illumination (ICWI) in order to allow operation with DDG-1000. Missile integration with Air and Missile Defense S-band Radar (AMDR-S) radar for DDG 51 Flight III ships will include requirements review/updates and analysis, verification, technical documentation, design review, working group SME support, missile/radar integration, missile test hardware procurement, risk assessment, safety, test and evaluation planning, analysis, data collection. Missile variants: ESSM Block I; SM-2 Blk IIIB MU2, SM-6 Block I (Current Aegis Configuration). The SM-6 missile system will leverage the Navy investment in the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS), Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), and airborne early warning systems, which will be upgraded in concert with missile development to support a fully integrated extended range detect-to-engage naval and joint integrated fire control capability. Together, this family of systems will provide the air superiority and the umbrella of protection against the full spectrum of projected future cruise missile (anti-ship and land attack) and manned aircraft threats discussed in the Joint TAMD MNS, DPG, QDR, Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Roadmap, IAMD Joint Integrating Concept, IAMD Joint Operating Concept and TAMD Capstone Requirements Document. SM-6 FOT&E Testing with AEGIS Baseline 9 commences in the second quarter of FY14 and scheduled events align with the overall AEGIS Baseline 9 Path to Operational Testing (OT). SM-6 portion of Joint and Naval Integrated Fire Control is to support the integration, land-based and at-sea test, and analysis in support of the Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) test and evaluation strategy. The first at-sea NIFC-CA System of Systems (SoS) live fire at-sea test with AEGIS Baseline 9 commenced in the 4th Quarter of FY13 with subsequent Land-Based and At-Sea tests taking place in FY14. Insensitive Munitions (IM) efforts support transition of technology associated with ONR HARDKILL future naval capabilities reflected in a signed, level B, Technology Transition Agreement (TTA), endorsed by PEO IWS 3.0, OPNAV N96C, Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Missile Defense Agency (MDA AX). Portable All-Up Round Bit Tester (PABTs) eliminates the need for missiles to be removed from the ship and transported to the Intermediate Level Maintenance Facility (ILMF) to undergo testing, reprogramming, and maintenance checks. PABTs development and subsequent delivery in FY16 will increase missile/asset availability to the fleet and result in significant maintenance savings over the SM-6 lifecycle. Future capability demonstration project funded by the OSD Deputy's Management Action Group (DMAG), with DEPSECDEF approval, for the execution of test vehicle tests at White Sands Missile Range to support an at sea demonstration event in FY16. The at sea demonstration event supports data collections, performance analysis tasks, reliability assessment, Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for AEGIS Baseline Changes (ACB), and Combat Systems Integration Test (CSIT). The preliminary integration testing of the entire architecture interfaces missile, data network, AEGIS, and airborne sensors to support the fielding of an operational capability in the FY18 timeframe.

Change Summary Explanation
Congressional reduction in FY 14 for future capabilities demonstration. Future capabilities demonstration funding was increased in FY 15 to support the fielding of an operational capability in the FY18 timeframe. IM funding was reduced in FY15 to align program with the revised TTA with the ONR.
