Air Defense Weapons System
Abstract
Ground Based Air Defense-Stinger Sustainment (GBAD-SS) - Based upon the deployment of the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalions and their employment of the Stinger Missile, GBAD-SS 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-SS consists of five 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) 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, to retain interfaces with, and be capable of receiving, a Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) broadcasted link as well as be capable of interfacing with Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) equipment; 4) Redesign and re-integration of Section Leader Vehicle (SLV) equipment from the shelter on a M1165 configuration to M1114 configuration, providing a common platform with greater mobility, force protection and maneuverability increasing overall operational capability; 5) Transition from the HMMWV vehicular platform to the JLTV platform for a Maneuver- Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) Capability in order to field a more survivable On-the-Move (OTM) command and control (C2) and kinetic/non-kinetic capability to keep pace with supported operational forces. GBAD Future Weapons System (GBAD-FWS): The GBAD Program is rapidly approaching the out of production phase for the A-MANPADS Increment I and the end of life for the Stinger missile. The Stinger missile is reliable but older technology, while it remains relevant in the near-term, the GBAD Program is planning for a GBAD Future Weapon System to address a larger array of targets utilizing organic C2 and sensor systems. Leveraging an update to the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) completed Sept 2016, the GBAD Future Weapon System's Capability Development Document (CDD) is anticipated in the 4th quarter FY18. The GBAD Future Weapon System will consist of multiple weapons system platforms to defeat current and emerging threats for UAS, Fixed Wing/Rotary Wing (FW/RW) aircraft, and cruise missiles. This development effort will consist of a kinetic and non-kinetic capability to defeat the full spectrum of Low-Altitude Low Observable/Low Radar Cross Section threats. Additionally, this budget reflects the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) directed Counter-UAS (C-UAS) assessment, engineering and acquisition efforts to determine and pursue technology solutions required to defeat the full spectrum of threats associated with the Marine Corps Low-Altitude Air Defense mission with a focus on C-UAS. Efforts will include assessment, engineering analysis and prototype procurement necessary to evaluate various direct energy, electronic attack, projectile, and missile capabilities to determine the right mix of technologies required to negate aerial threats and provide the MAGTF, as well as, Bases, Posts and Stations, force protection against these threats. With the proliferation of both military and commercial UAS platforms, the program will pursue and acquire a GBAD-FWS platform with a C-UAS capability. Overall, the Air Defense Weapons System $65.521M increase from FY18 to FY19, in combined baseline and OCO funding, reflects the Marine Corps continued urgent need to address emergency war fighting requirements for a Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) Future Weapons System (FWS) and the Commandant of the Marine Corp (CMC) directed Counter-UAS (C-UAS) assessment, engineering and acquisition efforts to determine and pursue technology solutions required to defeat the full spectrum of threats associated with the Marine Corps Low-Altitude Air Defense mission.
