Abstract

Project 9359A Affordable Weapons System (AWS) - FY09 $11,169K Program previously funded under Project 9359C to conduct a Phase I Study for an Affordable Weapon System (AWS). Phase I included mission concept analysis, mission analysis, system architecture analysis, fly-away cost analysis with life cycle cost impacts, and system engineering for a sea-based land attack and strike mission capable precision strike weapon. The proposed system(s) will operate from ships with potential sea-based Navy/Marine Corps aircraft launch and submarine capability of defeating targets at standoff ranges, and can rapidly complete the engagement phase consistent with making the kill chain short. The potential AWS(s) will not exceed $250K in fly-away cost. Phase II was funded to exercise contract options for contractor preferred system concept(s), which will be supported by system engineering, best material approach(es), risk analysis, and future plans, while updating fly-away costs and life cycle impacts. Project 9D60A 76mm Swarmbuster Capability - FY09 $1,596K Began efforts to integrate the MK 75 with Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) for ASuW capability against swarming boats. 76mm Swarmbuster Capability - FY10 $1,593K Continue efforts to integrate the MK 75 with Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) for ASuW capability against swarming boats. Project 10C130 Hybrid Propellant for Medium and Large Caliber Ammunition - FY10 $3,983K Funding will assess potential usage of domestically produced propellants to support performance goals of the Navy. Project 9E34A 76mm Testing and Integration - FY09 $1,597K This new effort will support the testing and integration of the 76mm MK 75 Mod 2 Gun Mount being integrated with the MK 160 Fire Control System and Optical Sight System.
