it&#039;s a challenge to integrate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reprogrammed funding will allow the Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munitions (C-DAEM) program to move into a competitive demonstration phase in FY20, according to Army budget justification documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The C-DAEM effort upgrades the Excalibur airframe with an armored target seeker and will be able to defeat \u201cmoving and imprecisely located armored targets at long ranges\u201d and will be fully compatible with the Army\u2019s howitzers as well as ERCA and the M777 Extended-Range version, the reprogramming document notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effort also aims to reduce the cost-per-shot and improve the number of cannon artillery that can be stowed as well as be compliant with the Pentagon\u2019s cluster munition policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reprogramming documents also indicate the munition is a \u201ccandidate\u201d for \u201cMulti-Domain Cannon Artillery\u201d that answers a U.S. Army Pacific operational needs

led to a two-increment approach to developing the munition that will replace the 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions with a DOD-compliant munition that addresses anti-armor and extended-range capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first increment will focus on destroying enemy infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers and tanks while the second increment will take on the destruction of personnel, materiel, air defense artillery and rocket launchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the increments will be developed simultaneously; FY20 funding will support the competitive demonstrations for Increment I and also the design testing and qualification for Increment II, the FY20 budget books show.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside
