Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon Increment II

Abstract

The Department of the Navy is developing OASuW Inc 2 (PU 3343) to address weapon system requirements based on the recently completed Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Analysis of Alternatives. OASuW-2 will be a high speed, long range, air launched weapon system providing Strike and ASuW capabilities. The program is part of the Navy's Long Range Fires investment approach to meet objectives of the National Defense Strategy. As a key component of this strategy, OASuW-2 will address advanced threats from engagement distances allowing the Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments. The initial year of funding will be utilized for technical maturation of component level investments, stand-up security infrastructure and kick-off the OASuW Inc 2 competition that will result in an Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract 2QFY23. Significant activity in the science and technology (S&T) and rapid prototyping arenas is setting the stage for aggressive schedule execution in this area, with all four of the major defense contractor missile manufacturers actively participating in one or more of the programs. These projects include the Hypersonic Air Breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Supersonic Propulsion Enabled Advanced Ramjet (SPEAR) Rapid Prototyping project under the Office of Secretary of Defense Research & Engineering, and the Hypersonics Innovative Naval Prototype under the Office of Naval Research. The Navy will also explore and consider new concepts proposed by industry. FY 2022 New Start.
