AARGM ER
Abstract
The Air-to-Ground (AGM)-88E Extended Range (ER) Upgrade was a new start in FY 2016. The purpose of this effort is to develop hardware and software modifications to improve the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM)'s operational capabilities, including extended range, survivability and effectiveness against complex, new, and emerging threats. This budget line item funds a new rocket motor design, system development and integration, test asset procurement, testing, and associated software updates for the AARGM-ER to ensure these capabilities perform in accordance with established requirements. FY 2018 activities include entry into the Engineering Manufacturing and Design (EMD) phase. Procurement of test articles will begin in FY 2019. AARGM-ER retains the same guidance, sensor, and warhead capabilities of the Block 1 AARGM. The AARGM-ER program is part of the Navy's Integrated Fire Control (IFC) approach to address advanced threat capabilities in the Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) environment. IFC solutions enable individual system capabilities to be leveraged across an effects chain, placing the full spectrum of tactical capability in the hands of the warfighter. IFC solutions that push engagement distances beyond the launch platform's radar horizon and allows the U.S. Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments are increasingly critical as more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines.
