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). Missile and system improvements necessary to meet their requirements are being addressed via NATO SEASPARROW Missile System (NSSMS) (0173), Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) (0167), Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) SeaRAM (9853A), Griffin, Javelin and Spike missile (3342). Missile improvements include improved kinematic performance plus advanced seeker and low elevation fusing/warhead capability improvements. CIWS System improvements include Technology Refresh for current fleet population and Next Generation CIWS. New system developments include integration of Griffin missile into Patrol Coastal (PC) and Littoral Combat Ship Missile Module, and development and/or qualification of shoulder launched missile system.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The funding increase in FY15 supports the implementation of RAM changes identified in the Integrated Combat System Failure Review Board (CSFRB) report known as the Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP). These funds support RAM System Engineering, design analysis and testing of the combat system changes in support of the FCLIP process. Funding will deliver software baseline changes to the RAM Block 1A and Block 2 Missiles, launcher software updates and updated interface to the combat system. FY15 funding increases also supports ESSM block 2 risk reduction and dual band transceiver development. The increases were offset by a decrease to the ESSM program due to Department decision to reduce contracted services and a decrease due to underexecution.
