MARINE CORPS AIR DEFENSE WEAPONS SYS

Abstract

This program element supports the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalion's missions of Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD), Medium Range Air Defense and provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) to include; maneuver forces, bases, posts and stations, the necessary force protection to defeat the full spectrum of threats associated with the Marine Corps Low-Altitude Air Defense mission, to include hostile aerial threats from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). With the proliferation of both military and commercial UAS platforms, the program is pursuing and acquiring more lethal and survivable air defense weapon systems platforms; such as JLTV's with armored protection and better maneuverability than a HMMWV, providing increased Counter-UAS capabilities now and continually spiraling out increasing capability for the foreseeable future. The Medium Range Intercept Capability (MRIC) will provide a capability to defend fixed and operationally fixed sites primarily against threat subsonic/supersonic cruise missiles; secondarily against UAS and other aerial threats that enter into the MRIC's Weapons Engagement Zone (WEZ). The system will be integrated into the Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) Family of Systems (FoS) to facilitate a layered defense against aerial threats

Change Summary Explanation
Marine Corps Air Defense Weapons Systems decreases $12.845M from FY 2022 to FY 2023 due to the completion of development and integration of the MADIS Increment 1 Engineering Design Model (EDM) as well as completion of System Integration Test (SIT) #1 and #2 as depicted in the MADIS Increment 1 schedule. MADIS Increment 1 will reach a Milestone C in 2Q FY 2023. MRIC increase of $0.127M from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to completion of the MRIC prototype development and integration and movement into test and evaluation. Funds support the integration testing, safety testing and certification, as well as the required software and cybersecurity testing efforts. The FY 2023 funding request was adjusted by $8.450M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
