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), as well as a Surface-to Surface Strike weapon system. 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 and C772), 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 and C772) 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.
