CONVENTIONAL PROMPT STRIKE (CPS)

Abstract

Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) capability will enable precise and timely strike in contested environments across multiple platforms. In coordination with the Army, the Navy CPS Program is designing a common All Up Round (AUR) comprised of a Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) and a 34.5" two-stage booster. The Navy is responsible for C-HGB design, while the Army leads C-HGB production. The Navy will design, develop, and produce the missile booster, and will integrate the missile booster with the C-HGB. Each service will use the resulting common hypersonic missile while developing individual weapon control systems and launchers tailored for launch from sea or land. Development efforts under this program element lead to a weapon system capability that: (1) is non-ballistic over the majority of the flight path; (2) controls stage drop; (3) provides positive control and precision accuracy from launch to impact; (4) provides adequate cross-range/maneuverability to avoid over-flight issues; (5) provides prompt lethal effects on targets; and (6) is man-safe and deployable for surface and submerged platforms.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2025 Program Adjustments: -Adjustment of $151.85M realigned funding from RDTEN to MILCON. Of this, $52.61M was realigned to Line Item 692121417 for Containerized Long Weapons Storage (CLWS) facility, $52.11M was realigned to Line Item 692121418 for CPS Maintenance, Operations, and Storage (CMOS) facility, and $47.13M was realigned to Line Item 692121419 for AUR+C Test Facility in Yorktown, VA. -Additional reduction of $10.222M due to minor adjustments to include economic adjustments for items such as civilian pay, inflation, and fuel pricing. Note for Quantity of RDT&E Articles: - The profile for Quantity of RDT&E Articles reflects the year procurements are initiated for each unit. Efforts for each RDT&E asset are incrementally funded across multiple fiscal years. The total quantity reflects AUR+C, flight test assets, high-fidelity test assets, and high-fidelity simulators.
