Sea Launched Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) from Shipboard High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) (SLASH)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. SLASH supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on joint lethality in contested environments. SLASH will provide a sea launch option for the ATACMS. The JCTD will demonstrate a long range supersonic ballistic surface to surface missile for employment by Expeditionary Strike Groups (ESGs), logistic forces, and U.S. Army (USA) watercraft. In FY 2019, SLASH completed the ATACMS software modification, validation, and verification; conducted fabrication and qualification testing of shipboard blast pad; performed validation of launcher control system adaptability for shipboard use; and conducted missile requisition and integration with HIMARS launcher.
