HARM Improvement

Abstract

HIGH-SPEED ANTI-RADIATION MISSILE (HARM) IMPROVEMENT: HARM is a joint service program with the Air Force (Navy lead). The program commenced production in FY 1983. Program element 0205601N was used until FY 1990 to develop and test one hardware and two software upgrades to the HARM (AGM-88B, Block III & AGM-88C, Block IV) as Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Another ECP software program (Block IIIA&V) was developed (FY 1996 through FY 1999) to modify HARM software in order to meet operational requirements. HARM Block IIIA/V software was distributed to the Fleet in FY 2000. The Block V tactical software upgrade gives HARM improved geographic specificity and improved capability against advanced waveforms. HARM Block VA is currently in test and is projected to be distributed to the fleet in FY11. HARM Improvement includes efforts to conduct Foreign Military Assessment (FMA) analysis and engineering to exploit vulnerabilities of foreign anti-radar threats. HARM Improvement includes funding for threat assessment, operational updates and integration efforts.
