METEOR
Abstract
Navy surface combatants have Capability/capacity gaps to defend against high volume attacks in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD). The objective of METEOR is to demonstrate tactically significant, non-kinetic, High Power Microwave (HPM) payload integration onto Naval platforms to defeat, track, engage and assess operational threats while assessing integrated sensors and weapon control options. The METEOR HPM weapon development will provide capability with low cost-per-shot, deep magazine, tactically significant range, short time engagement for multi-target approach, dual deception and defeat capability. This Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) will assess the military utility of a ship-based Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) HPM weapon, to develop performance requirements via effects and lethality studies, to evaluate current HPM prototype hardware for those requirements, and to mature promising HPM technologies. To assess military utility as part of layered defense in stressing scenarios, METEOR will quantify effectiveness against priority threats, evaluate Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) techniques, and perform mission modeling.
