Lower Tier Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability
Abstract
Lower Tier Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability program will integrate a competitively selected Gallium Nitride (GaN) array antenna onto the baseline PATRIOT RS, replacing the Passive Electronic Scanned Array (PESA) technology. The Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) antenna configuration change, using GaN-based technology, will enable increased radar operating ranges thereby maximizing the inherent PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) capabilities to engage threats. Lower Tier Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability tasks include all the programmatic and engineering activities needed for the LTAMD-C Materiel Development Decision, Analysis of Alternatives, and Business Case Analyses/Trades. Once the material solution has been determined, the development effort for LTAMD Capability will be accomplished. These activities will continue through the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction(TMRR) and Engineering and Manufacturing Development(EMD) phase to enable the prototyping, development, and testing of the LTAMD Capability. FY2017 base dollars in the amount of $35.132 million initiates Lower Tier Missile Defense Capability to include programmatic and engineering activities needed for the Material Development, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and Business Case Analyses/Trades.
