HARM Improvement
Abstract
High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) Improvement is a Navy led joint service program with the Air Force. 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 (Air-to-Ground (AGM)-88B, Block 3 & AGM-88C, Block 4) as Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Another ECP software program (Block 3A & 5) was developed (FY 1996 through FY 1999) to modify HARM software in order to meet operational requirements. HARM Block 3A/5 software was distributed to the Fleet in FY 2000. The Block 5 tactical software upgrade gives HARM improved geographic specificity and improved capability against advanced waveforms. HARM Block 5A is currently being deployed in the Fleet. HARM Improvement includes efforts to conduct Foreign Military Assessment (FMA) analysis and engineering to exploit vulnerabilities of foreign weapon system threats. HARM Improvement includes funding for threat assessment, operational updates and integration efforts.
