Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS)
Abstract
The Precision Strike Weapons Development Program Element supports the enhancement of Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) war fighting capabilities. The current program emphasis is on demonstrating component and subsystem technology maturity with risk reduction initiatives highlighted by flight tests. The program funds the design, development, and experimentation of hypersonic subsystems including: boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, payload modules, launch systems, fire control systems, support equipment, underwater launch (UWL) facility updates, and hypersonic glide bodies. The development efforts shall lead to a flight system that: Is non-ballistic over the majority of the flight path; Controls stage drop; Provides positive control and precision accuracy from launch to impact; Provides adequate cross-range/maneuverability to avoid over-flight issues; and Provides prompt lethal effects on targets. To support these development activities, the program procures modeling and simulation capabilities, ground testing, command and control interfaces, test range support, and launch system infrastructure. Additionally, expert resources address strategic policy and treaty issues. Program timing will be driven by the outcome of flight and ground test events. Prior to FY 2019, Conventional Prompt Strike efforts were solely funded through Defense Wide Research and Development funding. In FY 2020, CPS efforts in this project are to support Navy integration efforts, conduct trade studies of system alternatives and risk reduction technology maturation efforts as the CPS program transitions to Navy in FY 2020. In FY 2020, CPS efforts in this project are to support Navy integration efforts, conduct trade studies of system alternatives and risk reduction technology maturation efforts. The CPS schedule has been updated to reflect Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) and Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) associated with the design, development, and experimentation of boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, test range modernization, and mission planning and enabling capabilities. FY2020 program increase from FY19 to FY20 supports integration efforts associated with the CPS program which shifts from OSD to a Navy program of record. The FY19 to FY20 increase is largely associated with the design, development, and experimentation of hypersonic subsystems including: boosters, conventional warheads, thermal protection systems, guidance systems, payload modules, launch systems, fire control systems, support equipment, underwater launch (UWL) facility updates, and hypersonic glide bodies.
