Low Cost Cruise Missile (LCCM)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. LCCM directly supports the Secretary of Defense's priority for increased lethality. LCCM provides a decentralized autonomy capability for low-cost, conventional air-launched cruise missiles that will enable joint access and maneuver in the global commons. It will be capable of conducting networked integrated attacks, in-flight dynamic retargeting/reallocation and synchronized cooperative/saturation attacks. Flight demonstrations will be conducted using surrogate weapon platforms and will provide residual leave-behind payloads for transition to a full weapon system development program. FY 2018 funds were used to produce the baseline lot of LCCM vehicles and begin flight testing. The technical manager continued the maturation and refinement of the autonomy module's ability to sense the environment and execute countermeasures.
