Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM)
Abstract
The Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (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 to support the Army's modernization priorities; C-DAEM Armor and C-DAEM DPICM Replacement. C-DAEM Armor will destroy moved and moving self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 funding will support the continued development and testing of the most promising C-DAEM Armor candidates(s) for Urgent Materiel Release (UMR), and engineering efforts required to integrate the NavStorm-M Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver into the most promising C-DAEM Armor objective materiel solution(s). C-DAEM DPICIM Replacement will destroy personnel to soft-skinned targets. On 11 September 2020, the Army approved the Israeli M999 advanced anti-personnel munition as the C-DAEM DPICM Replacement solution. FY 2022 funding will also support M999 testing and qualification activities to ensure effectiveness, suitability and survivability.
