ATACMS Mods
Abstract
Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) is the United States (U.S) Army's primary 24/7, all-weather, and surface-to-surface artillery precision missile used by current and future Combatant Commanders to shape the battlefield with long-range fires against hard and soft stationary targets in open, complex, and urban environments. This effort will not build any new missiles or add to the overall inventory. Block (Blk) 1 missiles currently have warheads (WHs) that are non-compliant with the 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) policy on cluster munitions (CM). The modification program will take expired Blk 1 assets which have reached the end of their service life and reset to the contracted 10 year service life. Under this modification effort, a policy compliant WH will replace the existing M74 bomblets and also replace electronics and propellants. The Stockpile Reliability Program (SRP) will supply additional data to support extending the service life. This effort effectively brings the expired inventory back into service, while meeting the DoD CM Policy, to engage imprecisely located/area targets up to 300 kilometers (km).
