ARMY TACTICAL MSL SYS (ATACMS) - SYS SUM

The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) - SYS SUM is a new start in FY 2024. The program aims to provide the United States (U.S.) Army with a primary 24/7, all-weather, and surface-to-surface artillery precision missile used by current and future Combatant Commanders to shape the battlefield with long-range fires against hard and soft stationary targets in open, complex, and urban environments. The missile provides the Combatant Commanders with a 24/7 all-weather 300 kilometers (km) long-range fires capability to attack high-payoff, time-sensitive targets without placing aircraft and crews at risk. It's precision accuracy, along with the absence of potential duds and reduced lethal radii, mitigate the warfighter's collateral damage concerns against hard and soft targets in complex and urban environments.

The FY 2024 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $7.307 million will be used for the remaining delivery costs of the missiles procured on the FY 2021 contract and the Production Verification Test (PVT). 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. This program is essential for enhancing the Army's capabilities in precision long-range fires to support combat operations across various environments.
