Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS)
Abstract
The Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Weapon System delivers a hypersonic conventional offensive strike capability through a depressed boost-glide trajectory to prosecute deep-inland, time-critical, soft and medium-hardened targets in contested environments. The Navy CPS weapon system or major elements of the weapon system will be deployed onboard multiple launch platforms. The CPS program is a joint effort between services with design and data sharing. The Navy and Army are collaborating to design and produce the common hypersonic glide body (C-HGB). To enable weapon system integration to Navy mission requirements, near-term design, development, and experimentation will be required for boosters, thermal protection systems, navigation, guidance and control systems, enhancements, payload modules, weapon control systems and interface to existing fire control systems, support equipment, and launcher systems. Component & subsystem technology maturity and risk reduction will be demonstrated through ground-based testing, in-air and underwater launch testing, and flight tests. Furthermore, with each platform deployment, risk continues to be reduced for weapon subsystems and components until prototyping efforts culminate in an initial operational Virginia-Class submarine weapon system capability. The program will capitalize on commonality between platform implementations, enabling other Service operational capabilities. CPS supports the National Defense Strategy by supporting modernization initiatives for hypersonic technologies and enabling a more lethal force by: (1) Providing rapid delivery of capability through multiple acquisition increments and configurations; and (2) Providing flexibility to allow for additional capability phases as the weapon system and warfighter requirements evolve.
