Harpoon Block II+
Abstract
The Encapsulated (ENCAP) Harpoon Block IC (HIC) missiles provides Navy Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarines (SSN) a sub-launched, all-weather, long-range Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) missile to attack enemy warships at stand-off ranges, to include Surface and Amphibious Action Groups. The ENCAP Reconstitution Program will refurbish and recertify 60 ENCAP HIC all-up rounds from deep storage to an "as-new" war-ready material condition (ENCAP Harpoons were placed in deep storage in 1996). The controlled storage conditions achieved by the missile capsule have preserved the material condition of the weapon system, allowing for relatively quick recertification and reissue. Due the ease and speed of missile recertifications the ENCAP HIC Reconstitution Program will fill a critical, time sensitive ASuW capability gap and meet Speed to the Fleet requirements. This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
