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), Advanced Low Cost Munition Ordnance (ALaMO), Over-The-Horizon (OTH) missile (2070), and Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) SeaRAM (9081). 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 for the future fleet. 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. ALaMO (0243) qualifies a guided 57mm projectile with an active seeker for United States Navy (USN) use. ALaMO provides enhanced lethality against Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FIAC) when compared to existing 57mm ammunition.

Change Summary Explanation
Project 0173 NATO Seasparrow - Increase is to support ESSM Block 2 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD). The plan for this effort was more heavily funded by international funds in prior years, with the US portion of funding being higher in the latter years. The image in the R4 exhibit details this graphically. Stalker supports Improved Stalker (I-Stalker), which will provide incremental improvements to the currently fielded Stalker Long Range Electro-Optic Sensor System (SLREOSS) in response to a 2016 United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) Operational Needs Statement (ONS). Project 0167 RAM - Increase is to support RAM Block 2B Raid Engineering Change Proposal (ECP). The RAM Block 2B Raid ECP will provide an upgraded seeker and Missile-to-Missile Link (MML) capability to counter emerging complex raid threats. FY 2018 increase is also for 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 systems engineering, design analysis and testing of the combat system in support of the FCLIP Phase I process. Funding will deliver software baseline changes to the RAM Block 2 missiles, launcher software updates and updated interface to the combat system. Increase also funds implementation of FCLIP Phase II with Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) combat system improvement efforts that are key to air defense survivability. This issue completes the Fire Control Loop Improvement (FCLIP) developmental efforts and installs FCLIP fixes onto the ships. Addresses current capability gaps to improve overall Probability of Raid Annihilation (PRA) as identified during Failure Review Board (FRB) following A5-1 test event. Funding closes these gaps by implementing FRB-identified fixes which improve PRA. Project 9081 CIWS SEARAM - Increase is to support CIWS Tech Refresh to eliminate legacy parts that are difficult and costly to maintain, reduce required maintenance actions, increase system reliability, and provide upgraded capability for the Fleet. Project 0243 ALaMO - Increase is to support non-recurring engineering, design verification testing, environmental qualification, hazard classification, insensitive munitions and developmental testing starting in FY 2018.
