(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. Prior to FY 2019, Conventional Prompt Strike efforts were solely funded through Defense Wide Research and Development funding. In FY 2020, 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 transitions to Navy in FY 2020. In FY 2020, CPS efforts in this project are to support Navy integration efforts, conduct trade studies of system alternatives and risk reduction technology maturation efforts. The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element supports the enhancement of Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) war fighting capabilities. The current 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 hypersonic subsystems including: boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, payload modules, launch systems, fire control systems, support equipment, underwater launch (UWL) facility updates, and hypersonic glide bodies. The development efforts shall lead to a flight system that: Is non-ballistic over the majority of the flight path; Controls stage drop; Provides positive control and precision accuracy from launch to impact; Provides adequate cross-range/maneuverability to avoid over-flight issues; and Provides prompt lethal effects on targets. 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. The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element (PE) supports the Next Generation Strike Weapon (NGSW) Family of Systems (FoS) based on the NGLAW Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) completed with results briefed out to OSD. NGSW FoS more accurately reflects the surface/submarine capabilities for land-attack and maritime strike that the AoA results identified for the most capable and economic solutions fielding incrementally between 2020 and 2032. NGSW FoS Increments I and II will leverage mature as well as emerging technologies vice developing a single weapon. NGSW funding will maintain the security environment (enclave), facility, and study team to enable continuing analysis efforts across the FoS. The NGSW enclave ensures the Navy is able to maintain the most up to date modeled threats and validate the effectiveness of current US weapons, offensive and defensive, as well as future systems and concepts developed by industry and other DoD organizations. Maintaining this capability allows expedited analysis of systems and fully informed investment decisions. 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. MALD is integral to realizing the National Defense Strategy of combat-credible military forces to deter war, protect the security of our nation and to enable the Joint Force to win should deterrence fail. The development and acquisition of MALD has been structured to be fielded at a pace relevant to maintain overmatch against long-term strategic competition. Specifically MALD directly contributes to building a more lethal force and is a critical enabler for joint lethality in contested environments; deterring adversaries from aggression and evolves innovative operational concepts. 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
- PU 3334 The CPS schedule has been updated to reflect Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) and Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) associated with the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, test range modernization, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. FY2020 program increase supports integration efforts associated with the CPS program which shifts from OSD to a Navy program of record as well as the design, development, and experimentation of hypersonic subsystems including: boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, payload modules, launch systems, fire control systems, support equipment, underwater launch (UWL) facility updates, and hypersonic glide bodies. PU 3378 FY2020 was decreased to invest in offensive hypersonics reducing PB19 funding by $34.5 million in FY20. PU 3407 The FY2020 funding request was reduced by $3.0M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY2020 will continue MALD EMD efforts. Funding includes all components of All Up Round (AUR). Incorporate Test and Evaluation events. The FY 2019 to FY 2020 increase of $28.689 provides for MALD-N integration activities and subsystem level testing in support of QRA efforts.
