AARGM
Abstract
Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) transitioned a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop and demonstrate a multi-mode guidance section on a High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) airframe to System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) in FY 2003. The AARGM SD&D program was designed to integrate multi-mode guidance (passive Anti-Radiation Homing (ARH)/active Millimeter Wave (MMW) Radar/Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System) on the HARM Air-to-Ground Missile (AGM)-88. Planned AARGM weapon system capabilities include: active MMW terminal guidance to counter shutdown, expanded threat coverage, enhanced ARH, Weapon Impact Assessment (WIA) transmitted prior to detonation, GPS/point-to-point weapon navigation, enhanced navigational performance in denied environments and weapon employment with impact avoidance zone/missile impact zones. Milestone C was achieved 4Q FY 2008, followed by a combined FY 2008/FY 2009 Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract award in 1Q FY 2009. Full-Rate Production (FRP) decision was received 4Q FY 2012, with FRP deliveries beginning in 2Q FY 2014. The AARGM Block 1 Upgrade program began in FY 2012 for a software only upgrade with follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation/Integrated Test (FOT&E/IT) of the Block 1 Upgrade completed Q4 FY 2017. FY 2025 funding continues to support AARGM ELINT file upgrades, lab ground and flight tests, commencement of AARGM integration into the new mission planning tool, and technology infusion for obsolescence mitigations.
