The US Navy (USN) has revealed plans to contract Northrop Grumman for the development of a payload module to enable the integration an undisclosed weapon system on Virginia-class nuclear powered attack submarines (SSNs).
While the service declines to make any public comment on the plan, the so-called Sea Shrike Advanced Payload Module (APM) is most likely associated with efforts to introduce a new hypersonic Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) weapon on board Virginia-class SSNs. The CPS weapon system is intended to deliver a hypersonic conventional offensive strike capability through a depressed boost-glide trajectory to prosecute deep-inland, time-critical, soft- and medium-hardened targets in contested environments.
