Precision Strike Weapons Development Program
Abstract
Initial and continuing development of strike weapons consisting of armament, munitions, and weapon subsystems to allow for 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, Insensitive Munitions (IM), scaled munitions, Department of Defense (DoD) fuzing systems, sensors, extended range weapons, precision guided training rounds, aerial refueling, fuel containment, and technologies associated with cartridge actuated devices/propellant actuated devices. PROJ 3378: 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. PROJ 3407: 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. PROJ 3409: Development and fielding of the Advanced Aerial Refueling Store (AARS). The AARS effort is the result of an Operation Navy (OPNAV) Future Readiness Initiative (FRI) award. The AARS will package new technologies into this next generation Aerial Refueling Store (ARS) to support both manned and unmanned (automated) aerial refueling from platforms such as F/A-18 and MQ-25. In doing so, the AARS will facilitate tanking operations to both manned and unmanned receivers and improve safety of flight by stabilizing the aerial refueling drogue and incorporating better health and diagnostics. These improvements will be accomplished by providing updated store health message content and additional health monitoring Built-In Tests (BITS) that will be sent over the 1553 data-bus. The AARS will also add receiver and drogue position data for situational awareness and support autonomous receiver engagements of unmanned systems. This in turn will increase reliability and decrease aerial refueling mishaps, providing a significant safety and readiness improvement when compared with the current ARS. PROJ 3411: Cartridge Actuated Device / Propellant Actuated Device (CAD/PAD) Digital Twin Modeling to develop and validate models and algorithms for the Department of the Navy (DoN). The development effort is specific to Navy Air Crew Common Ejection Seats (NACES). These models will also be used to support initial service life decisions, service life extension decisions, and address obsolescence. PROJ 3467: This project will design, develop, produce and deploy a Nuclear-Armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM-N). SLCM-N is scoped to deliver an integrated flight system and to continue to advance SLCM-N capabilities to fully address requirements identified in the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, SLCM-N Initial Capabilities Document, and examined in the Analysis of Alternatives to mitigate a lack of a sea based tactical nuclear based system. PROJ 9999: Neutron radiography (N-ray) is a critical nondestructive inspection technique used to complement X-ray. N-ray and X-ray are used to detect defects and proper assembly of a variety of energetics, including Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PADs). The US Navy intends to continue to employ neutron radiographic inspection to support energetics programs for the foreseeable future. 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
- PROJ 3407: Air Launched Decoy Development overall schedule was delayed from PB22 to PB23 by 12 months. Schedule delays are due to issues with fuselage redesign efforts and associated test events. Program reduced by $12.250M in FY22 for early to need. PROJ 3409: FY22 contract awards have been delayed since the previous President's budget submission due to the projects being New Starts that cannot commence until approval of the FY22 Appropriations bill. Program reduced by $1.0M in FY22 for contract delays. PROJ 3411 CAD/PAD Digital Twin Modeling FY2023 funding request was reduced by $0.295M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Digital Twin Model development contract was delayed due to contract vehicle availability. Proj 9999 FY22 $6.0M Congressional Add for Neutron radiography technologies for energetic devices. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
