Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon
Abstract
Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) will be an offensive weapon system that can be air, surface, and subsurface launched in the maritime battle space environment. OASuW will be a vital component of the Joint Force Anti-Surface Warfare capability and incorporate new and emergent technologies to support an increased offensive strike capability. Due to emerging threats, the fleet issued an Urgent Operational Needs Statement (UONS) that identified a capability gap for a long-range anti-ship missile to be filled by 2018. Directly supporting this UONS and significantly reducing Joint Force warfighting risks, the U.S. Navy initiated OASuW Increment 1, which leverages the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA)/Office of Naval Research Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) demonstration program to deliver an Early Operational Capability (EOC) in the required timeframe. LRASM fills the most urgent air-launched capability gap to compliment, existing ASuW weapon systems and positions the Department of Defense to address evolving surface warfare threats. Longer term OASuW requirements will be addressed in the future by OASuW Increment II. Budget Item Justification: OASuW (Increment I) Funding supports the delivery of an EOC of OASuW Increment I's LRASM weapon system, including the transition of the LRASM demonstration design into a fielded air-launched weapon system, using an accelerated acquisition approach, with streamlined governance. The program is leveraging DoDI 5000.02i Model 4 to structure the acquisition strategy, which includes a highly integrated and concurrent transition design, integration, and developmental / operational test program to meet the EOC schedule required by the UONS. To manage the accelerated timeline and resulting concurrency, the program uses a structured Knowledge Point review process that support decisions regarding significant program events such as transition from design to integration phase and contract awards. These reviews also provide senior DoD leadership the opportunity to provide focused support and active management of technical and acquisition risk and are chaired by the Service Acquisition Executive, ASN(RDA), and the Deputy Director of DARPA. The knowledge points are similar to acquisition milestone reviews, but occur more frequently and are tailored to program-specific milestone events. Of note, the OASuW Increment I knowledge points are defined differently than GAO defines the same term and are tailored to program-specific milestone events. The program intends to meet the statutory requirements associated with Milestone B at Knowledge Point 3. In addition to the Knowledge Point reviews, Executive Steering Board reviews, chaired by the MDA, are held at least monthly. Supporting these reviews, the associated engineering approach is designed to mitigate resulting risk by implementing a rolling-wave engineering progression based on the NAVAIR Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) process to enable detailed planning and decisions as the system matures. This process includes capstone SETR events that are tailored reviews using standard design review criteria. SETR 2.0 in FY15 provided a Production Design Review level review of the system and supported the Knowledge Point 2 decision to continue toward the Integration and Test phase. The Technology Maturation effort in FY15 and FY16 culminates in a system Critical Design Review (CDR) level review at SETR 4.0. SETR 3.0 in late 2015 provided a CDR-level review for the all-up-round components and supports the Knowledge Point 3 decision to initiate the Integration and Test phase. In FY17, system qualification testing will complete, environmental and ship suitability testing will be conducted, flight test articles will deliver, and flight testing will commence, including the first free-flight weapon firing. Platform integration work continues.
