Description
Description — Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) Missile
The WGU-59BB Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II (APKWS II) with Fixed-Wing Air-Launched Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (cUAS) Ordnance (FALCO) software is employed on the A-10, F-15 and F-16 aircraft. FALCO all-up-round (AUR) is composed of an FMU-178 proximity fuse, M151 warhead, a WGU-59BB guidance and control section, and a MK66 rocket motor launched from a LAU-131A/A rocket launcher. The FALCO system is intended for air-to-air engagement of UAS; however, it remains effective in any terrain, including, but not limited to, urban, desert and mountainous. It provides an ability to engage and destroy moving and transient targets. FALCO offers greater precision, reduced collateral damage, and increased standoff range to enhance crew survivability. The FALCO guidance section is a mid-body, semi-active laser guidance and control kit that converts an unguided 2.75-inch rocket into a precision laser-guided rocket. The FALCO guidance sections are compatible with new and existing inventories of rocket motors, warheads, and launchers. The guidance sections are procured through Department of the Navy PMA-242 at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. These items are procured by AFLCMC/EBH through the U.S. Army Missile Command, Tactical Air to Ground Munitions (TAGM), PEO Missiles and Space at Redstone Arsenal Alabama, and/or the U.S. Navy PMA-242 at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. Procurement quantities can change based on negotiated options/pricing bands and available funding, in accordance with Title 10, U.S Code Section 2308 BUY-TO-BUDGET ACQUISITION. Funds may be used to address production Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)/Material Shortages/Obsolescence issues through studies, bridge buys, life of type buys, supplier/parts re-placement, to include electronic components used commercially and in short supply, and qualification activities to preserve future production capabilities and capacities. These funds may also procure inventoried items which may not be procured on an annual basis and could be required on an emerging basis. Variations to cover critical shortfalls to inventory objectives as well as actual and planned expenditures will be addressed during execution year. Procurements for the execution year may vary due to changes in inventory objectives. Combatant commanders' requirements for Operational Plans influence these objectives, which are updated throughout the year. This program leverages Digital acquisition tenets of open, agile, and digital. Invests in analytical, information management, data management, digital environments, networks, facilities, and security infrastructure upgrades directly supporting development and sustainment of this program's capabilities, while leveraging DoD and DAF enterprise IT solutions. FY25 funded in 3011 PE 0208030F.
