Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon Increment II
Abstract
Update of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) for OASuW Increment 2 (OASuW-2) capabilities. The OASuW-2 will address future threats by 2024 to replace or update legacy weapons while in support of the Department of the Navy (DoN) Next Generation Strike Capability (NGSC). Within NGSC, OASuW-2 will be an air launched offensive weapon system to address capability needs beginning in 2024. The 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 and more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines. The OAWSuW-2 program was deferred in FY 2018.
