ATACMS BLK II
Abstract
This program element was for Army Tactical Missile System Block II (ATACMS BLK II) missile system Brilliant Anti-Armor (BAT) submunition. In FY18, it was repurposed for BREAKER and in FY19, CD ATACMS was added. BREAKER ended in FY19 and CD ATACMS was moved to a different program element. In FY20 and beyond, this program element funds only PFAL (Palletized Field Artillery Launcher). Project P01. Multi-Mode Seeker began integration of Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) STRIKE-X program demonstrated capabilities into ATACMS. This effort focused on providing integration of a seeker to search, detect, acquire, and engage moving maritime/land-based targets. There is no funding in FY2021. Project 688 is a developmental effort for the Palletized Field Artillery Launcher (PFAL). Previously, PFAL was STRIKE-X capability 1 of the SCO Demonstration program and CD ATACMS was STRIKE X capability 3. PFAL is a palletized erectable launcher that provides alternatives to deliver near-term innovative long-range strike capabilities to improve operational effectiveness for Combatant Commanders. The PFAL launcher consists of an erectable palletized mechanical structure, Fire Control System (FCS), and Power Management System (PMS). PFAL is capable of firing all current Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM) rockets and missiles, to include the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), and future munitions such as the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) and Extended Range GMLRS (ER GMLRS). PFAL is capable of carrying two launch pods each containing either six GMLRS / MLRS rockets or one ATACMS missile. The PFAL launcher is capable of firing from a fixed ground position, Palletized Load System (PLS) trailer, or maritime vessel. In FY2020 and FY2021, the Army will procure the kits to build 1 prototype to replace the 3 SCO prototypes that were dispositioned to an Army unit in FY2020. In FY2021, the Army will design and develop upgrades to the baseline design based upon the directed requirement. There is no FY22 funding request.
