Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM)
Abstract
Army Aviation long range munition dominance and asymmetric advantage has eroded in recent years with peer adversaries expanding their capabilities by developing and fielding advanced systems designed to create physical stand-off especially in the realm of Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) and Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS). Having operated in relatively uncontested environments for a number of years, the Joint Force has not kept pace with these peer and near peer developments and U.S. dominance is no longer assured. Army Aviation requires a Long Range Precision Munition (LRPM) that is integrated with the firing platform that can provide leap ahead capability in the penetration and dis-integration phases of Joint All Domain Operations (JADO). LRPM will provide Army Aviation with an improved long range munition system that can rapidly respond in a combat environment in order to improve the survivability of the warfighters and weapon systems, including aviation platforms in an A2AD and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) denied environment. The ability to interoperate and coordinate with other weapon systems and munitions at long ranges and adapt to changing threats is a core concept of the Army Aviation Weapons, Sub-Systems, and Munitions Initial Capabilities Document validated in June 2018. LRPM will leverage a modular open system architecture to facilitate a reduction of costs and rapid development as threats continue to evolve.
