Air and Missile Defense Technology
Abstract
Work in this Program Element (PE) investigates and develops Air and Missile Defense (AMD) technologies to enable defense of ground forces and selected geopolitical assets from aerial attack, missile attack, and surveillance. Major focus areas for AMD Science and Technology include: Missiles, Directed Energy, Gun-Based Air Defense Technologies, and Battlefield Sensors and Supporting AMD Technologies. Missiles Applied Research investigates and develops a broad range of Missile technologies to enhance Army integrated AMD capabilities at extended range. Directed Energy Applied Research investigates and develops critical High Energy Laser (HEL) technologies to explore performance against Air Defense threats and for other Directed Energy applications across Army Modernization Priorities. Gun- Based Air Defense Technologies Applied Research investigates and develops Gun-Based Air Defense technologies and components in a laboratory environment. Sensors and Supporting AMD Technologies Applied Research investigates and develops Battlefield Sensor and radar technologies required for detection, acquisition and tracking of air defense targets as well as supporting technologies that enhance AMD. Work in this PE complements PE 0603466A Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC) and the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Strategic Forces Command (SMDC/ARSTRAT).
