Expanded Mission Area Missile (EMAM)
Abstract
These funding lines are directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. Work in this PE, the Expanded Mission Area Missile (EMAM) program, supports the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture and provides Directed Energy - Indirect Fire Protection Capability (DE-IFPC) intercept capability to defeat Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), and Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats. The DE-IFPC is an Air Defense capability consisting of the IFPC-HEL and the IFPC-HPM. IFPC-HEL will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat the CM, UAS, and RAM threats. The IFPC-HEL requirement consists of a vehicle, high energy laser subsystem, power and thermal subsystem, and a beam control subsystem integrated with a battle management command, control and communication software. IFPC-HEL provides much needed protection against adversarial threat systems capable of targeting U.S. and Allied forward operating bases and other critical assets. IFPC-HPM will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat UAS swarms. The IFPC-HPM requirement consists of a HPM source, power and thermal subsystem, and an antenna subsystem interoperable with a battle management command, control and communication software. IFPC-HPM provides much needed protection against adversarial UAS swarms capable of targeting and overwhelming U.S. and Allied air defense systems. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
