Next Generation Land Attack Weapon (NGLAW)

Abstract

Funding is provided for the Next Generation Strike Weapon (NGSW) Family of Systems (FoS) based on the NGLAW Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) completed with results briefed out to OSD. NGSW FoS more accurately reflects the surface/submarine capabilities for land-attack and maritime strike that the AoA results identified for the most capable and economic solutions fielding incrementally between 2020 and 2032. NGSW FoS Increments I and II will leverage mature as well as emerging technologies vice developing a single weapon. NGSW funding will maintain the security environment (enclave), facility, and study team to enable continuing analysis efforts across the FoS. The NGSW enclave ensures the Navy is able to maintain the most up to date modeled threats and validate the effectiveness of current US weapons, offensive and defensive, as well as future systems and concepts developed by industry and other DoD organizations. Maintaining this capability allows expedited analysis of systems and fully informed investment decisions. Further funding supports investment for technologies which enable Increment II capabilities (additional details are held at a higher classification).
