Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM)
Abstract
The C-DAEM Project will provide United States (U.S.) ground forces with the capability to engage area personnel through armored targets, while denying threat forces full operational freedom within the targeted area. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was completed in January 2018 to inform Army acquisition and investment decisions regarding replacement of the current stockpile of 155 millimeter (mm) Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) with Department of Defense (DoD) policy compliant munitions and address anti-armor and extended range capability requirements. The Army validated two materiel solutions for C-DAEM to be pursued in parallel. C-DAEM Armor (Increment 1) will destroy moved and moving infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, and tanks. C-DAEM DPICM Replacement (Increment 2) will destroy personnel to light-skinned vehicles. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding will support qualification of C-DAEM DPICM Replacement solution(s) for safety, performance, and DoD policy compliance verification testing to support the Army's modernization priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
