(U)Precision Strike Weapons Development Program
Abstract
Initial and continuing development of strike weapons consisting of armament, munitions, and weapon subsystems to allow for the horizontal integration among current and future weapon system capabilities to provide enhanced anti-surface and land strike capabilities in a demanding Anti-Access Area-Denial environment. This program provides for the development of weapon and weapon system technologies to address future requirements for enhanced and alternative weapon system capability requirements that include selectable output weapons, low collateral damage weapons, precision lethality weapons, area weapons, alternative warhead technology, Insenstive Munitions (IM), scaled munitions, DoD fuzing systems, sensors, extended range weapons and precision guided training round technology. The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element (PE) supports the Next Generation Strike Capability (NGSC) by funding Next Generation Land Attack Weapon (NGLAW); a surface/submarine fired survivable, long range, multi-mission, multi-platform conventional strike capability fielding in the 2028-2030 timeframe. The Next Generation Strike Capability (NGSC) strategy will address future threats in time to replace or update legacy weapons while bringing next generation technology to Department of the Navy (DoN) standoff conventional strike (Land Attack & ASuW). Within NGSC, NGLAW will be capable of attacking land and maritime, stationary and mobile targets while supporting two of the Navy's primary mission areas: 'Power Projection' (land attack from the sea/undersea) and 'Sea Control' against enemy surface action groups/combatants. To the maximum extent possible, NGSC will utilize common components and component technologies (e.g. navigation; communications; seeker; guidance and control) across the air-launched and sea-launched missile variants to reduce cost, shorten development timelines, and promote interoperability. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Schedule: PU 3378 Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) changed from 1Q FY16-2Q FY17 to 2Q FY16-2Q FY18 due to revised Cruise Missile Strategy required to complete definition of requirements analysis. Added ICD Staffing 1Q FY16-2Q FY16 to reflect pre Analysis of Alternative activities. Added Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) Approval to 2Q FY16 to reflect approval of pre-Analysis of Alternatives acquisition documentation. Added Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase 2Q FY18-4Q FY21 due to updated Cruise Missile Strategy that includes a FY28-FY30 Initial Operational Capability. Moved Material Solution Analysis from 1Q FY16-4Q FY18 to 3Q FY16-2Q FY18 due to updated Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) Strategy. System Readiness Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Milestone B, Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase and Critical Design Review (CDR) removed due to updated Cruise Missile Strategy that includes a FY28-FY30 Initial Operational Capability (IOC) versus a FY24 IOC.
