ATACMS Mods
Abstract
The United States (U.S.) Army is funding the integration and testing of the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) Modification program under DZ9 ATACMS Project Code. This effort will not build any new missiles or add to the overall inventory. The modification program will take expired Block (Blk) 1 assets which have reached the end of their service life and reset their shelf life. Blk 1 missiles currently have warheads (WHs) that are non-compliant with the 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) policy on cluster munitions (CMs), as well as, expired electronics and rocket motors. Under this modification effort, a policy compliant WH will replace the existing M74 bomblets and also replace electronics and propellants to achieve a reset on the shelf life. This effectively brings the expired inventory back into service, while meeting the DoD CM Policy, to engage imprecisely located targets up to 300 kilometers (km).
