  1. USAF Self-propelled Munitions Col. Michael Leggett Chief, ACC Advanced Programs

  2. OVERVIEW • AIR SUPERIORITY • SUPPRESION OF ENEMY AIR DEFENSES • INTERDICTION • CLOSE AIR SUPPORT • QUESTIONS

  3. AIR SUPERIORTY “Global Strike assets must be able to obtain first look first shot engagements against adversary aircraft.” Global Strike CONOPS, 4 June 2003

  4. Supersonic, medium range, radar guided missile First employed in Vietnam (E variant) AIM-7M- only variant still in operation H-build-improved guidance 56 Kills in Vietnam 24 Kills in Desert Storm DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE AIM-7 Sparrow • AIM-7M phasing out of USAF inventory starting in 04 • Replaced by AIM-120

  5. DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE AIM-9 Sidewinder • Supersonic, heat seeking, air to air missile (A-X variants) • Carried by all tactical fighters • Most widely proliferated missile in NATO • 72 kills in Vietnam • 8 kills in Desert Storm • AIM-9M and AIM-9X are the USAF’s only variants in operation. • AIM-9X replacing AIM-9M • Fielded at Elmendorf • AIM-9X • Imaging Focal Plane Array (FPA) seeker • Thrust vectoring • High Off-Boresight capability • Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) is an enabler

  6. AIM-9 Sidewinder TOTAL AIM-9M-7/9 AUR = 4400 TOTAL AIM-9X AUR = 4000 AIM-9X 4000 AIM-9M 4400 1982 1988 1994 2000 2006 2012 Initial Operating Capability Production/Sustainment

  7. Advance Medium Range Air to Air Missile Fire and Forget Carried on F-15, F-16, F-14, F-18, F-4, F/A-22, F-35 5 Kills in Allied Force 1 Kill 1992 Southern Watch DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE AIM-120 (AMRAAM) • AIM-120C Phase 3 development effort progressing to Mar 04 completion • Improved Electronic Protection and lethality • 85% missile success rate (within lethal radius); tests conducted Oct 02 – Dec 03 (214 test launches) • AIM-120D • Joint USAF/USN • Improved data link • Greater kinematics • Improved HOBS

  8. AIM-120 (AMRAAM) TOTAL AIM-120 AUR=8700 AIM-120D 4250 AIM-120C 1250 AIM-120B AIM-120A 3200 2006 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 Production/Sustainment

  9. SUPPRESION OF ENEMY AIR DEFENSE (SEAD) “Global Strike assets must be able to rapidly detect, locate, destroy, or suppress enemy air defenses using core capability residing on strike assets.” Global Strike CONOPS, 4 June 2003

  10. DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) • ~7000 HARMs in USAF inventory including AGM-88B and AGM-88C • CAF’s only reactive SEAD weapon • Carried by HTS-equipped Block 50 F-16s and select Block 30 units • AGM-88B/C Block IIIA/V software fielded 2QFY00 • Provides limited geospecificity • Improves performance against advanced emitters • In sustainment • AGM-88F • INS/GPS enables counter shutdown capability • Improved seeker

  11. AGM-88 HARM TOTAL AUR=7000 AGM-88F 2000 AGM-88C 5000 AGM-88B 2006 2010 1986 1994 2014 1998 2002 1990 Production/Sustainment

  12. INTERDICTION “Global Strike CONOPS requires the capability to attack a limited range of heavily defended high value assets with minimal risk to manned aircraft.” Global Strike CONOPS, 4 June 2003

  13. DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE Joint Air-to-surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM) • >200 NM range, stealth and precision standoff, all weather • Autonomously attacks center-of- gravity targets under umbrella of next generation defense systems • Kills hardened and non-hardened,fixed & relocatable targets • Funded: F-16, B-52, B-2, B-1 • Unfunded: F-117, F-15E, JSF • CAIV flagship OSD program • LRIP Dec 01 - initial buy 76 missiles • OT successfully completed Sep 03 • FOT&E for F-16 M3+ underway • RAA (B-52H) complete Sep 03 • JASSM-ER directed by SecAF • Baseline/ER Mix: 2400 baseline, remainder ER • CSAF interest in two-way communications capability on JASSM

  14. JASSM Total AUR = 4900 B-52 F-16 B-2 B-1 EMD JASSM JASSM-ER 2400 2500 2001 2002 2003 2004 2006 2008 2009 2010 2011 2005 2007 Production/Sustainment

  15. DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE Joint Dual Role Air Dominance Missile (JDRADM) • Single missile for Air to Ground and Air to Air • Enhanced capability • Increased standoff • Enhanced lethality • Enhanced propulsion and agility • F-35, F/A-22, UCAV, and legacy A/C • Joint USAF and USN • Capabilities, integration, and development analysis process initiated • JDRADM is the future

  16. CLOSE AIR SUPPORT “Persistent operations will include fighters and weapons necessary to sustain full-spectrum joint and combined operations such as targeting mobile targets and Close Air Support (CAS).” “Global Strike Task Force” 2001

  17. DESCRIPTION STATUS FUTURE AGM-65 Maverick • Precision air-to-ground missile • AGM-65 A/B TV Mavericks • AGM-65 D/G IR Mavericks (night) • AGM-65 H/K TV Mavericks (new) • 85% success rate in Desert Storm • AGM-65A/B parts becoming obsolete • Being replaced by the AGM-65H/K TV Mavericks • New TV seeker • Greater ranges • First Combat Use in OIF • Integrated on A-10, F-16, F-15E • Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) Phase II • Internal Carriage • All weather seeker • Data Link • ATR by classification • Tracked vs wheeled
