Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM)

Abstract

The Cannon Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM) Budget Activity Four (BA4) is a new start project in Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). The XM1155 projectile, transitioning from Budget Activity Three (BA3) PE 0603464A / Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology Project BO8 Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Tech), will deliver lethality and range overmatch in 155mm artillery weapon systems at more than double the current range from legacy artillery cannons and will be compatible in future 155MM artillery systems in a Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded and denied environments. The XM1155 projectile, developed as part of an organic Long Range Precision Fires capability, will provide overmatching cannon artillery range capability at both Tactical and Operational Fires range by shaping the nature of the close fight through seeking moving and imprecisely located targets at extended ranges, will increase range capability of the current 39 caliber cannon fleet and will also be compatible with future 52 caliber and above artillery weapon systems. FY 2025 funding will support technology maturation and risk reduction of key system and subsystems, improvements in performance in difficult use cases, and integration of the tactical warhead and seeker culminating in a series of Design Verification Testing (DVT) to achieve Technology Readiness Level (TRL) six (6) maturity.
