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 Project addresses requirements from the U.S. Army adopted U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) C-DAEM Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) [Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) adopted 20 October 2016, Joint Requirements Oversight Council (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 JROC Interest. FY 2019 will support the preparation and evaluation of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for technologies and capabilities identified through the AoA, as well as the development of the Capabilities Development Document (CDD) for each technology.
