MISSILE DEFENSE (MD)
Abstract
This activity describes Missile Defense S&T projects of the Sea Shield FNC program, and non-FNC-related Navy research. - Advanced Area Defense Interceptor (AADI) S&T planning effort for Navy - Marine Corps Air Directed Surface to Air Missile (ADSAM) live firing demonstration at White Sands Missile Range. Completed in FY 2009 with funding in PE 0603123N, the metric for AADI was execution of an ADSAM demonstration by the Navy and Marine Corps that establishes the basis for further development of an operational Naval Integrated Fire Control/Counter-Air (NIFC-CA) capability. - Naval Interceptor Improvements (NII) technology upgrades for STANDARD Missile (SM) future fleet air defense missile. Metrics will be to achieve SM performance requirements in specified tactical rain environments and achieve SM performance requirements in all specified electronic countermeasures environments. - Extended Distributed Weapons Coordination (EDWC) algorithms to extend DWC Automated Battle Management Aids (ABMA) functionality to include coordination of passive defense measures (emission control, use of decoys, maneuvering). Metric will be improved probability of negation (Pneg) against advanced ballistic & cruise missile anti-ship threats that may be susceptible to decoys and jamming. - Positive Control of Naval Weapons (PCNW) - additional technology upgrades for SM to enable forward relay, remote launch & potentially forward pass engagements. Metrics are classified. - Midcourse and Terminal Algorithms (MTA) for interceptor and associated weapon system enhancements to defeat advanced anti-ship missile threats with high confidence. Specific metrics are classified. - Enhanced Lethality Guidance Algorithms (ELGA) to increase probability of kill versus an expanded threat set including ASBMs and advanced ASCMs. Metrics for this project will be classified. - Enhanced Maneuverability Missile Airframe (EMMA) technology for Navy shipboard missile systems to intercept highly agile maneuvering ASCMs and ASBMs. Metrics for this project will be classified. - Integrated Active & Electronic Defense (IAED) technology basis for response combinations of active and electronic weapons & systems to optimize Pneg against ASBMs and ASCMs, including potential interactions. Metrics will be classified. - Non-FNC-related investigation of effects of charged particle layers on UHF to S-Band radars used to track space vehicles and initiate development of advanced electromagnetic decoy launchers and payloads. The FY 2009 through FY 2011 decrease represents the phased movement of EDWC, PCNW, and NII projects from Applied Research (6.2) to Advanced (6.3) Research as the technologies mature and prepare for acquisition.
