Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Weapon Increment II

Abstract

The Department of the Navy is developing Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Increment 2 (OASuW Inc 2), also known as Hypersonic Air-Launched OASuW (HALO),(PU 3343) to address weapon system requirements based on the OASuW Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). OASuW Inc 2/HALO, will be a higher-speed, longer-range, air-launched weapon system providing superior Anti Surface Warfare 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 Inc 2/HALO will address advanced threats from engagement distances that allow the Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. To the maximum extent possible, the Navy will leverage technology being matured in the Science and Technology (S&T) and rapid prototyping arenas to support aggressive schedule execution. The OASuW Inc 2/HALO program will progress through a competitive technical maturation and design development period which will provide the foundation for a sole-source Engineering, Manufacturing and Development contract. Department approved requirements are documented in a draft Capabilities Development Document. In order to counter the evolving near-peer threat capability, OASuW Inc 2/HALO is required to be fielded in FY 2028. FY 2023 New Start
