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); Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats; Fixed Wing (FW); and Rotary Wing (RW). The DE-IFPC is an Air Defense capability consisting of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability - High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL), the Indirect Fire Protection Capability - High Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM) and the Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System (MDACS). - IFPC-HEL will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat the CM, UAS, RAM, FW and RW threats. The IFPC-HEL requirement consists of a vehicle, high energy laser subsystem, power and thermal subsystem, and a beam control subsystem integrated with 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 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. - MDACS is a rapid prototype, deep magazine, cost-effective, and scalable system consisting of a Multi-domain Artillery Cannon (MDAC), Multi-Function Precision Radar (MFPR), Multi-Domain Battle Manager (MDBM), Hypervelocity Projectiles (HVP), and an Ammo Handler Vehicle. MDACS complements existing AMD systems and provides integrated and standalone defense against a broad range of threats. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
