Lower Tier Air Missile Defense (LTAMD) Sensor
Abstract
Lower Tier Air Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program will provide the required sensing capabilities, surveillance and fire control in the lower tier portion of the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The acquisition program competitively selected the LTAMDS prime vendor in 1st Quarter (Q) Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 to build six Prototype sensors under the authority of Section 804 Rapid Prototyping. The sensor/radar set (RS) replaces the baseline PATRIOT RS (AN/MPQ-65A) in an IBCS enabled PATRIOT Battalion mitigating the risk associated with threat changes while also addressing growing obsolescence and increasing Operational & Support (O&S) cost. The LTAMDS capability addresses critical capability gaps, modernizes technology, and increases reliability and maintainability. The LTAMDS capability increases sensor/radar performance to maximize the inherent PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) Interceptor capabilities to engage threats. FY2022 UMR tasks include prototype manufacturing, acquiring targets for testing, conducting Developmental and Qualification testing, and conducting an Operational Demonstration. Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) tasks include acquiring long lead hardware, targets for testing, and additional capability development. Other FY2022 tasks include long term power solution development and integration activities with the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) and PATRIOT family of interceptors (PAC-2 GEM-T, PAC-3, PAC-3 MSE).
