Ship Self Def (Engage: Hard Kill)

Abstract

This program element provides funding for the development of systems that fulfill a portion of the third phase of the Ship Self Defense: Engage Hard Kill. Development in this line will focus on hard kill capabilities in which missiles are used to intercept incoming Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCM). ENGAGEMENT: Missile and system improvements necessary to meet their requirements are being addressed via NATO SEASPARROW Missile System (NSSMS) (0173), 5" Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) (0167), Phalanx CIWS SeaRAM (9853A), Griffin and Spike missile (3342). Missile improvements include improved kinematic performance plus advanced seeker and low elevation fusing/warhead capability improvements. System improvements include incorporation of Phalanx detection capability into RAM system (SeaRAM), future concepts studies and self-destructing ammunition, and Future Phalanx Next Generation Improvements. New system developments include integration of Griffin missile into Patrol Craft (PC) and development of Spike missile system. Missile systems demonstration to include Javelin, Spike and Griffin to assess weapons effectiveness in a maritime environment.
