(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, Department of Defense (DoD) fuzing systems, sensors, extended range weapons and precision guided training round technology. The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element supports the enhancement of Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) war fighting capabilities. Program emphasis is on demonstrating component and subsystem technology maturity with risk reduction initiatives highlighted by flight tests. The program funds the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, payload delivery vehicles (PDVs), non-nuclear warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, test range modernization, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. The development efforts could lead to a flight system that is non-ballistic over the majority of the flight path, controlled stage drop over Broad Ocean Area, positive control from launch to impact, adequate cross-range/maneuverability to avoid over flight issues, and effects on targets in a very short-period of time from execution order. To support these development activities, the program procures modeling and simulation capabilities, ground testing, command and control interfaces, test range support, and launch system infrastructure. Additionally, expert resources address strategic policy and treaty issues. Program timing will be driven by the outcome of flight and ground test events. Prior to FY 2019, Conventional Prompt Strike efforts were solely funded through Defense Wide Research and Development funding. In FY 2019, CPS efforts in this project are to support Navy integration efforts, conduct trade studies of system alternatives and risk reduction technology maturation efforts as the CPS program begins to transition to Navy in FY 2020. 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 FY 2028 - FY 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. The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element (PE) supports the air-launched electronic warfare (EW) systems capability; through the integration of a Navy variant of the Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD). EW is an integral war-fighting effect supporting combatant commander integrated priorities, as well as Joint or Coalition operations. EW systems influence, deceive, disrupt, degrade, deny and destroy threats throughout the electromagnetic spectrum to airborne and air-launched systems and their operations. EW includes air-launched electronic attack (EA) as well as elements of electronic support (ES) and electronic protection (EP). EA provides self-protection capabilities to other weapon systems through active and passive measures that deceive threats to airborne and air-launched systems and their operations by using kinetic and non-kinetic means to defeat threats that rely on the electromagnetic spectrum (Radio Frequency (RF), Electro-Optical (EO), Infrared (IR). The ES capabilities support the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information related to the detection, geo-location, characterization, and identification of threats to airborne and air-launched systems and their operations. An air-launched EW system with stand-in capability increases the range and duration of EW systems while providing flexibility to commanders for employment. 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 3407 FY 2019 will continue the MALD technical maturation effort and begin the EMD effort. Schedule: PU 3378 Analysis of alternatives (AoA) and Material Solution Analysis has been extended from 1Q FY 2017-2Q FY 2018 to 1Q FY 2017-4Q FY 2018 due to the physical and informational technology security processes needed to be executed for a study of this scope. The Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase moved from 2Q FY 2018 to 1Q FY 2019 due to extended AoA completion. Schedule: PU 3334 The Convention Prompt Strike schedule has been added reflecting TMRR and Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) associated with the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, payload delivery vehicles (PDVs), non-nuclear warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, test range modernization, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. FY 2019 program increase of $15.0M supports the Convention Prompt Strike program integration efforts. FY 2019 program decrease of $1.0M due to inflation rate changes.
