Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced missile technologies to enhance weapon system lethality, survivability, agility, deployability, and affordability. This PE focuses on smaller, lighter weight, more affordable missiles. This PE supports high fidelity simulations for advanced tactical missiles and interceptors (project 206); missile and interceptor components with capabilities for locating targets in clutter, precision guidance, high speed missile flight, and missile communications, command, and control (project 263); guided interceptors to work with ground combat vehicle active protection systems (project 550); technologies to detect and track rocket, artillery, and mortar threats (project 704); and technologies required for missile-based deployable force protection as well as defense against unmanned aerial vehicles and rotary wing aircraft (project G03). Project NA6 funds congressional special interest items. Work in this PE is complimentary to PE 0602303A (Missile Technology), and is fully coordinated with PE 0603003A (Aviation Advanced Technology), PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), and PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) located at Huntsville, AL.
