Future Interceptor

Abstract

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Air and Missile Defense. The warfighter community is actively staffing operational requirements for the Future Interceptor that will defend against current and emerging near-peer threats. The Future Interceptor program will provide operational effectiveness against current and evolving air, missile, and hypersonic threats within the lower tier portion of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The future interceptor will increase Air and Missile Defense (AMD) capability through increased velocity, altitude, and maneuverability. Current funding provides refinements/updates to drafted Architecture Design/Concept Definitions, Performance Study Reports, Program Feasibility/Acquisition Strategy documents already delivered to the USG as part of Phase I. It also continues Virtual Missile Model (VMM) development to support concept definition. Products from the Future Interceptor concept definition phase support development of technologies that will be used in future efforts to competitively down select to a single vendor.
