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). Starting with a Blk 1 missile, this modification effort will integrate, test, and qualify an ATACMS configuration to include a policy compliant WH, obsolescence refresh, and re-grained rocket motors. A characterization effort will also be performed to include qualification and flight testing to assess ATACMS performance with inclusion of a proximity sensor. Additional efforts include launcher updates to enable firing of the new ATACMS configuration.
