Maneuver - Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD)
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. The Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) capability provides air protection to the maneuvering forces by defeating, destroying, or neutralizing Rotary-Wing (RW), Fixed-Wing (FW), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Rockets, Artillery and Mortar (RAM) threats. This capability will be provided through a multi-phase, Family of Systems (FoS) approach, to include the rapidly fielded M-SHORAD Increment 1 (Inc. 1) and follow-on M-SHORAD Increments 2 and 3. Increments 2 and 3 will develop nascent capability and support Army demonstration and test initiatives to increase integrated offensive and defensive capability across warfighter functions and multiple domains. (CR9) Inc. 2 will provide a 50-kilowatt (kW)-class laser capability integrated onto a Stryker Combat Vehicle to provide an air defense capability to defeat RW, UAS, RAM, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) threats to the maneuvering forces. FY 2025 funding in the amount of $88.480 million supports Inc. 2 Product Development, Test and Evaluation, Engineering Technical Support and Program Management. (CS1) Inc. 3 will provide a Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI) to replace the existing Stinger missile. The new interceptor with support equipment will improve targeting capabilities to acquire targets with increased lethality and range, providing increased protection to the maneuver formations. Additionally, the NGSRI will be compatible with the existing M-SHORAD Inc.1 platform and will provide a Soldier Portable Capability (SPC) to meet the need for dismounted Air Defense. Inc. 3 will integrate the M-SHORAD Inc. 1 platform with the NGSRI and the new 30mm Multi-Mode Proximity Airburst (MMPA) ammunition. FY 2025 funding in the amount of $204.880 million supports Inc. 3 prototype and development effort and Technology Demonstration of critical technologies. The FY 2025 funding also supports required Test and Evaluation, initiation of the integration effort and Program Management. The total cost of the M-SHORAD Inc. 3 Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $813.600 million RDT&E from FY 2023 to FY 2028. The remainder of the M-SHORAD program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. (FI4) Inc. 1 (formerly known as Initial Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD)) is an Air Defense weapon system consisting of multiple ground-to-air missile launchers, sensors, and a gun integrated on a Stryker Combat Vehicle. The Inc. 1 system provides the Army improved capabilities for defense of maneuver formations and other tactical echelons from low altitude air attack and surveillance. The system is in response to an adaptive suite of airborne threat capabilities, supported by an integrated mix of surface-to-air and surface-to-surface shooters that threaten the ability of maneuver forces to conduct operations. Specifically, maneuver formations require the Inc. 1 air defense identification and defeat capabilities to counter FW, RW, and UAS threats. FY 2025 funding in the amount of $22.412 million supports Inc. 1 System Initial Operational Test (IOT), Product Improvement Tasks, and includes support for Program Management, Test and Evaluation, and Engineering Technical Support.
