Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM)
Abstract
The Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM) project will analyze, identify, develop, prototype, and demonstrate 155mm Cannon Artillery munition area effects capability. C-DAEM are envisioned as a suite of 155mm artillery munitions, to provide U.S. ground forces with a capability to effectively engage area targets to destroy, neutralize, and/or suppress threat platforms and facilities, and deny threat forces full operational freedom within the targeted area. Initial objective values for C-DAEM would meet Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) effects capabilities against personnel and light vehicles and exceed DPICM effects capabilities against armor. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) will be completed to best inform necessary area effect lethality requirements. The program addresses requirements from the U.S. Army adopted U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) C-DAEM Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) [AROC adopted 20 October 2016, JROC approved 11 May 2016]. The approved C-DAEM ICD as an Army requirement is located in the Capabilities and Army Requirements Documents number 0438. The Joint Staffing Designator is Joint Requirement Oversight Council (JROC) Interest.
