Stand In Attack Weapon

Abstract

The Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW) system will provide capability to strike rapidly re-locatable targets that create the Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment for 5th Generation and Future Advanced Aircraft. SiAW targets include Theater Ballistic Missile Launchers, Land Attack and Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Launchers, Jammers, Anti-Satellite Systems, and Integrated Air Defense Systems. The SiAW missile system is being developed under a Digital Acquisition (DA) approach that emphasizes agility and innovation. Interim combat capability is pursued through the Navy's Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER) program with improved warhead/fuze and F-35 integration (including Universal Armament Interface [UAI] and Mission Planning). Implements Digital Acquisition tenants of Open, Agile, and Digital; builds and establishes industrial base innovation around the program's enterprise for modularity and adaptability for the life cycle of the weapons system. Leverages common component development, in collaboration with other weapon systems, to reduce redundant costs between systems with similar subsystems requirements. Invests in analytical, data management, digital environments, networks, facilities, and security infrastructure upgrades supporting development of this program's capabilities, while leveraging DoD and DAF enterprise IT solutions. Expands program office staff, facilities, and security infrastructure to support the required classification levels for this program's activities. Engages with DoD, DAF, and industry stakeholders to refine threat analysis, refine inventory requirements, and plan upgrade requirements. Capitalizes on and incorporates successful laboratory research and development efforts applicable to this program's capability. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. FY24 RDT&E funding for PE 27328F, Program 653133 is in compliance with budgeted end items per the approved test strategy and FY23 Omnibus, Sec. 8059. The total cost of the Stand-in Attack Weapon Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is 1,130.1 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The SiAW RP program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. 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 PY 6.584M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY 10.569M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The FY2025 funding request was reduced by -5.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver SiAW for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605828F. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
