Air Defense Weapons System

Abstract

Ground Based Air Defense-Transformation (GBAD-T) - Based upon the deployment of the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalions and their employment of the Stinger Missile, GBAD-T transforms Air Defense equipment through technology insertion and equipment repackaging to address capability gaps as the result of equipment obsolescence and the emergent and evolving threats to the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). GBAD-T consists of three efforts: 1) systems engineering support of currently fielded LAAD equipment/assets to include the Stinger Mounted Optic and Mode 5/S Identification Friend or Foe (IFF); 2) redesign and integration of the Advanced Man-Portable Air Defense System (A-MANPADS) Increment 1 Fire Unit Vehicle (FUV) which consists of a M1114 (HMMWV), into an operationally capable vehicle configuration; 3) design, test, and integration of new systems for the Fire Unit Vehicle (FUV) to replace aging and failing technology. The replacement technology is required to retain interfaces with, and be capable of receiving, a Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) broadcasted link. It will also be capable of interfacing with legacy Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) equipment. The decrease ($1.732) from FY15 to FY16 reflects realignment of RDT&E funding to the correct appropriation to support Contractor Advisory and Assistance Services.
