Low-Altitude Future Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Long-Range Attack Missile (LRAM)
Abstract
LRAM builds upon L3Harris’ Red Wolf air-launched unmanned air vehicle (UAV). Specifically, the C&C project develops a launcher and control interface for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, kinetic payload, command and control architecture, and a seeker for autonomous over-the-horizon engagements. Most of the aforementioned is extensible to other aircraft, to include unmanned aircraft. This weapon system concept significantly extends the lethal range of VTOL-launched weapons. Moreover, outfitting the VTOL fleet of tactical aircraft (H-1, H-60 series, AH-64, and Joint Future Vertical Lift) with this weaponized UAV dramatically increases the number of aircraft available for over-the-horizon strike. In FY 2023, LRAM delivered an AH-1Z assessment for software and hardware development and integration requirements.
