Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM)

Abstract

Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) integrates advanced technologies and mature designs into an All-Up Round (AUR) prototype and will demonstrate a fieldable long range prompt strike capability. HACM will design, develop, manufacture, and test a number of prototype vehicles to inform future HACM acquisition decisions. HACM will mature hypersonic technologies, processes, and resources to include: subsystem integration, infrastructure and testing advancements, digital engineering, open systems architecture, modeling and simulation, analytics, and high performance computing environments. This PE is not a new start. HACM is currently listed under both 64033F/BPAC 643883 and PE 64183F/BPAC 644183 and will be consolidated to this PE (64183F/BPAC 644183) during the next budget update. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2021 $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 $2.360 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
