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) (0243), 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 and future fleet population. 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
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $33.419 million between PB 2018 and PB 2019 as follows: The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $0.334 million to reflect the Department of Navy's effort to support the Office of Management and Budget directed reforms for Efficiency and Effectiveness that include a lean, accountable, more efficient government. FY 2019 rate/miscellaneous decreases of $2.585 million is due to changes in the purchase inflation and other rate changes across all projects. Project 0173 NATO Seasparrow - Funding in the amount of $11.4M was rephased from FY 2019 to FY 2020. The funding rephase adjusts ESSM RDTEN to smooth development ramps and begin tapering in FY 2023 after SSDS IOT&E completes. 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 9081 CIWS SEARAM - Funding in the amount of $8.0M was rephased and added in the outyears. The three major components of the CIWS Tech Refresh efforts are Electric Gun Drive System, Electronics Enclosure(ELX) Modernization, and Local Control Station (LCS) and Remote Control Station (RCS)Redesign. Project 2070 OTH Missile - Decrease of $11.1M due to the procurement of Over The Horizon Weapon System (OTH WS)non-recurring mission support equipment, training hardware, and test articles being deferred to the out years.
