Hellfire-R Integration
Abstract
AGM-114-R is an Engineering Change Proposal to the fielded AGM-114-K,K2,K2A, P,P2, P2A and AGM-114-M missiles. It is intended to address safety, reliability and producibility issues while maintaining the current lethality of fielded versions of the Hellfire missile. The Department of the Navy (DoN) has participated in the development of the AGM-114R, which provides full Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), FW (Harvest Hawk) and RW Capabilities. The AGM-114R also increases lethality (Trajectory Shaping), increases Engagement Envelope (360 deg) and roll-tip off safety issues. The AGM-114R will maximize the Warfighter's' operational flexibility by allowing them to effectively engage a variety of stationary and mobile targets, including advanced armor, bunkers, buildings, command and control vehicles, transporter/erector launchers and patrol craft. RDT&E funding will support a combination of ground software validation efforts, E3 environmental studies, and aircraft interface and launcher signal validations. In addition, Development Test/Operational Test (DT/OT) Flight tests using all-up rounds will be performed during backwards compatibility System Qualification Testing (SQT).
