Surface-to-Surface Missiles

Extended Range Guided Munition (ERGM)
The ERGM, launched from the 62-caliber Mk 45 Mod 4 Naval Gun system, will support forces ashore with responsive, sustained, accurate fire. The ERGM rocket motor, developed by ATK, is designed to achieve maximum projectile range. The motor uses a patented pressure-balanced design that permits use of a thinner case to maximize propellant loading and range for the projectile. The design uses a pressure-activated, delayed igniter to enable motor ignition after the projectile exits the gun.

Javelin
ATK is under contract to the Javelin Joint Venture (Lockheed Martin and Raytheon) to supply the composite launch tube assembly for the Javelin missile, the world’s premier shoulder-fired, multi-purpose combat system.

Javelin is a man-portable, fire-and-forget anti-tank weapon that provides high ethality against advanced armor for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. The lightweight, high-strength ATK composite launch tube assembly makes the system easy for combat troops to carry and deploy.

Long-Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP)
ATK produces the rocket motor and tail fin assembly for the Long-Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) for the Advanced Gun System (AGS). The AGS is a 155mm gun system for the U.S. navy’s new DD(X) surface combatant ships. It will provide flexible, sustainable, and affordable firepower against a wide range of littoral and inland targets as well as for anti-surface warfare.

LRLAP is the first of a family of projectiles for the AGS. The rocket-boosted, precision-guided LRLAP provides single-strike lethality from offshore against a wide range of targets with minimal risk of fratricide or collateral damage.

Precision Attack Missile
ATK is designing, developing, and manufacturing the rocket motors for the Non Line of Sight – Launch System Precision Attack Missile (NLOS-LS PAM) program under a contract from Raytheon Missile Systems.

Under development for integration into the U.S. Army’s Future Combat System, the Precision Attack Missile is a low-cost, direct attack missile designed to support all weather operations up to 40 kilometers. It will be deployed from the platform-independent multi-missile container launch unit, which can house up to 15 missiles.

The U.S. Army will use the PAM primarily against tanks, armored, lightly-armored, and other stationary or moving targets. The U.S. Navy plans to integrate the system as a weapon module on the Littoral Combat Ship and Unmanned Surface Vehicle to defeat threats such small moving boats.

Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided (TOW)
ATK has been the sole-source supplier of the TOW flight motor since the early 1980s. The motor uses the proven minimum smoke propellant to propel the missile downrange. The flight motor incorporates dual canted nozzles that vent the exhaust gases at an oblique angle to the missile line of flight to avoid damage to the trailing control wires. In addition to the flight motor, ATK manufactures the TOW launch motor.

The TOW 2 weapon system is the premier anti-armor, anti-bunker, anti-fortification, anti-amphibious landing weapon system used today. It is in service with over 40 international armed forces and over 15,000 ground vehicle and helicopter platforms. The TOW-2B is the fifth generation missile and is designed for fly-over, top-attack to destroy the tank where it is less heavily armored.
