Air Force Short Range Attack Missile II Program

Abstract

The Short Range Attack Missile II (SRAM II) was to be an improved nuclear air-to-surface missile, capable of penetrating advanced defenses and striking targets from stand-off ranges. In FY 1985, the Air Force initiated the SRAM II Program after an unsuccessful attempt to establish a new production source to replace the existing SRAM A inventory. The Air Force reduced the quantity of missiles to be procured from 1,633 to 700 because of affordability reasons. The estimated program acquisition cost for 700 missiles was $2.2 billion. On September 27, 1991, the President terminated the SRAM II Program in a nuclear arms reduction initiative.
