Naval Modular Missile

The Naval Modular Missile (NMM) is the next generation family of surface and sub-surface launched kinetic hard-kill interceptors that serve as a competitive follow-on to the Standard Missile family of missiles. NMM variants align to the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC), Joint Concept for Fires (JCF), the JCF Supporting Concept Development Guide, and the Joint concept for Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense (JIAMD). It will provide the US Navy, Joint Force, Allies and Partners with advanced defensive and offensive capability to out-pace the threat. As the effective range, capability and capacity of adversary anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) systems have increased, the US Navy and Joint and Allied forces are at increased risk. Additionally, adversary capacity and expected large raid engagement tactics will demand US and Allied forces increase their platforms' defensive capacity (depth of magazine) or be forced to resupply frequently in the midst of combat operations. The adversary's increased capacity comes with increased capability in the form of highly-maneuverable, complex threats that will stress the current US weapon systems capabilities. The NMM program will tackle all of these challenges through a family of weapons approach. Navy Modular Missile is a new start for FY 2027.
