ARM Improvement
Abstract
Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) Improvement is a combination of the Navy-led High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) program, the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guide Missile (AARGM) program and the Advanced Anti Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range (AARGM-ER). HARM is a Navy led joint service program with the United States Air Force. AARGM is a program derived from a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program that developed a dual mode guidance section, incorporating a Millimeter Wave (MMW) radar with an advanced anti-radiation homing seeker. This provides the capability to counter shutdown of emitters. Additional capability for AARGM consists of Global Positioning System (GPS) capability, MMW terminal guidance, Weapon Impact Assessment (WIA), GPS point-to-point weapon engagement and impact avoidance zone/missile impact zones. AARGM-ER is a derivative of the AARGM program that utilizes the seeker electronics and repackages them into a new missile shape with a new rocket motor to achieve greater speed, range and survivability. ARM Improvement efforts require periodic updates to the user database based on changing threat parameters, enhanced air defense engagement tactics and modern complex emerging systems. These funds provide the opportunity to conduct ground and flight testing against foreign systems, to build MMW radar shapes and modern complex emitters and systems, called Foreign Material Assessment(FMA) and to develop alternative Concept of Operations (CONOP)for new capabilities. The result of FMA is an analytical report on findings, updates to fleet tactics manuals, curriculum changes to the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses / Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses lead Air Combat Training Curriculum course work and weapon school tactics/training and procedure briefs. FMA is focused on air defense weapon system exploitation, analysis and subsequent integration and response to ensure that the AGM-88 ARM weapon systems family remains relevant in the planned operational environment.
