Launched Effects can be deployed from both air and ground vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effort represents a new direction in the Army\u2019s aviation portfolio, which prioritizes drones and the more loosely defined category of LE platforms as the tip of the spear in enemy contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were able to accelerate the long-range efforts by about a year,\u201d Brig. Gen. David Phillips told Defense News in an interview before the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means the Army will likely put out a request for proposals for what is considered more of a Corps-level asset in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The service was originally looking at focusing on small and medium launched effects first and had yet to secure funding for the long-range version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the Army is making sure it is collaborating with the joint force to ensure it is not duplicating efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been paying close attention to the maturity of longer-range capability,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also continues to mature its medium-range capability which is in a prototyping effort well underway using Anduril Industries\u2019 Altius 700 aircraft. Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies company, is the mission system provider, and Aurora Flight Sciences is the system integrator. Technology Service Corp. and Northrop Grumman Information Systems are providing modular payloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe completed some additional flight testing off of an MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, last month and we\u2019re looking at a way to deliver that capability faster,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medium-range LE will also be developed in conjunction with Program Executive Office Missiles &amp; Space to fill its requirement for a helicopter-fired Long-Range Precision Munition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2024\/06\/07\/us-army-debates-path-to-buy-long-range-precision-munitions\/\" target=\"_blank\">debating whether it made sense to pursue a separate LRPM program<\/a> through PEO M&amp;S or if the capability essentially could be classified as an LE and was therefore a redundant effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s ruling is that \u201cit is a Launched Effects Medium Range. It\u2019s captured in that requirement and that\u2019s [how] we\u2019re going to go about the acquisition process,\u201d Lt. Gen. Karl Gingrich, who overseas the programs and resources division of the Army staff at the Pentagon, told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the requirement, the Army is looking at ways to accelerate the lethal version of the medium-range LE to meet the service\u2019s need for an air-launched precision munition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re being more efficient and effective that way,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has already issued a request for white papers for a short-range LE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re squarely in the evaluation space,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service plans to launch an effort late this year or early next year that will lead to a user demonstration aimed at getting feedback from the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The method is similar to what the service has done with other small, unmanned aircraft systems efforts. \u201cThat may sound familiar, that model, but it\u2019s working for us in the small UAS space,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army has more funding freed up for launched effects efforts to move more quickly as the result of an aviation
