US Military NASTY SURPRISE for Russian Navy
A great combat simulation video demonstrating the capability of the US
Military Long Range Anti Ship Missile against Russian navy ships. The
Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) is a stealthy anti-ship cruise
missile under development for the US Navy by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[4] The LRASM is intended as a
replacement for the US Navy's current anti-ship missile, the Harpoon,
which has been in service since 1977. Various launch platform
configurations are being evaluated. LRASM is anticipated to pioneer
autonomous targeting capabilities for anti-ship missiles.
The
Navy was authorized by the Pentagon to put the LRASM into limited
production as an operational weapon in February 2014 as an urgent
capability stop-gap solution to address range and survivability problems
with the Harpoon anti-ship missile and to prioritize defeating enemy
warships, which has been neglected since the end of the Cold War but
taken on importance with the modernization of the Chinese People’s
Liberation Army Navy. The Navy will hold a competition for the Offensive
Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW)/Increment 2 anti-ship missile as a
follow-on to LRASM to enter service in 2024.[5]
Competitors to
Lockheed Martin had protested the decision to award them a contract for
90 LRASMs given the circumstances of selection and competition for the
missile. Raytheon claimed their JSOW-ER had comparable capabilities with
lower costs. The Navy responded by saying Lockheed's LRASM program was
limited in scope, the decision to move ahead with them was made after an
initial DARPA contract award, and that it was an urgent need to face
future threats. The OASuW Increment 2 competition will be completely
open and start by FY 2017.[6] It is expected the LRASM will compete
against the joint Kongsberg/Raytheon offering of the Joint Strike
Missile (JSM) for air-launch needs and an upgraded Raytheon Tomahawk
cruise missile for surface-launch needs.[1]

Design
Unlike
current anti-ship missiles the LRASM will be capable of conducting
autonomous targeting, relying on on-board targeting systems to
independently acquire the target without the presence of prior,
precision intelligence, or supporting services like Global Positioning
Satellite navigation and data-links. These capabilities will enable
positive target identification, precision engagement of moving ships and
establishing of initial target cueing in extremely hostile environment.
The missile will be designed with advanced counter-countermeasures to
effectively evade hostile active defense systems.[7]
The LRASM is
based on the AGM-158B JASSM-ER, but incorporates a multi-mode radio
frequency sensor, a new weapon data-link and altimeter, and an uprated
power system. It can be directed to attack enemy ships by its launch
platform, receive updates via its datalink, or use onboard sensors to
find its target. LRASM will fly towards its target at medium altitude
then drop to low altitude for a sea skimming approach to counter
anti-missile defenses. DARPA states its range is greater than 200 nmi
(370 km; 230 mi).[8] Although the LRASM is based on the JASSM-ER, which
has a range of 500 nmi (930 km; 580 mi), the addition of the sensor and
other features will somewhat decrease that range.[9]
To ensure
survivability to and effectiveness against a target, the LRASM is
equipped with a BAE Systems-designed seeker and guidance system,
integrating jam-resistant GPS/INS, passive RF and threat warning
receiver, an imaging infrared (IIR infrared homing) seeker with
automatic scene/target matching recognition, a data-link, and passive
Electronic Support Measure (ESM) and radar warning receiver sensors.
Artificial intelligence software combines these features to locate enemy
ships and avoid neutral shipping in crowded areas. Automatic
dissemination of emissions data is classified, located, and identified
for path of attack; the data-link allows other assets to feed the
missile a real-time electronic picture of the enemy battlespace.
Multiple missiles can work together to share data to coordinate an
attack in a swarm. Aside from short, low-power data-link
transmissions,the LRASM does not emit signals, which combined with the
stealthy JASSM airframe and low IR signature reduces detectability.
Unlike previous radar-only seeker-equipped missiles that went on to hit
other vessels if diverted or decoyed, the multi-mode seeker ensures the
correct target is hit in a specific area of the ship.
