The following item was added to GAO's World Wide Web site in Portable Document (PDF) format. - Brilliant Anti-Armor Submunition: Opportunity Exists to Conduct Critical Test Prior to Production Decision. NSIAD-98-16. 13 pp. plus 1 appendix (6 pp.) October 30, 1997. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/ns98016.pdf Abstract The Army is developing the brilliant antiarmor submunition, with acoustic and infrared seekers working in tandem, to autonomously search for, track, and destroy moving armored targets. This submunition is to be carried deep into enemy territory by the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) Block II missile, which is still in development and is a modification of the in-production ATACMS Block IA missile, which carries a different submunition. The brilliant antiarmor submunition and the ATACMS Block II missile are a $4-billion system designed to support the Army's "deep fires" mission, which calls for the destruction and/or disruption of enemy forces at ranges exceeding 100 kilometers. Each Block II missile is to carry 13 submunitions that will be dispensed over large clusters of high payoff targets to attack and destroy individual targets. The advantage of the submunition is that it can cover a large area when dispersed, which allows it to compensate for target location errors.
