Air Defense Weapons System
Abstract
Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) supports the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalion's missions of Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) and provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) to include; 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 GBAD Future Weapons System 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. Based on an Urgent Universal Need Statement (UUNS), a Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) and a Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON) the Marine corps has aggressively pursued Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) solutions in support of deployed Marines and critical facilities. The development of these solutions has been leveraged heavily by the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) Increment 1 on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), the ACAT II Program of Record that will initiate at MS C in 4QFY21. Marine Air Defense Integrated System Family of Systems (MADIS FoS): The MADIS FoS provides the Marine Corps with an organic, upgradable, and state of the art capability to protect MAGTF maneuver forces, installations and other designated defended assets from Fixed/Rotary Wing (FW/RW) aircraft and Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The MAGTF is at increased risk of lethal air attack and fires coordination from next generation aircraft as well as significant advances from small UAS (sUAS) threats due to their rapid development and proliferation by the commercial sector. To address these threats, the MADIS FoS consists of mission tailored variants designed for sustained operations ashore, afloat, and aboard installations. The MADIS FoS includes the fielded Advanced Man Portable Air Defense System (A-MANPADS) which provides close-in, low altitude, surface-to-air fires and command and control in defense of the MAGTF. The MADIS Increment 1 (Inc 1) will be accomplished with the development, test, and installation of Government Furnished C-UAS equipment on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The MADIS Inc 1 system is comprised of two vehicles; a MK 1 (stinger variant), and a MK 2 (CUAS variant). MADIS Increment 2 (Inc 2) will focus on the development of an extended range for the Inc 1 system as well as the development of a kinetic and non-kinetic capability supporting increased lethality. This includes the development of a drone on drone system, a high powered microwave capability to counter swarms, continued development of a laser capability to defeat small UAS with an unlimited magazine, enhancements for a direct fire CUAS capability, and other yet to be identified technologies that can be integrated with the MADIS FoS. The MADIS Inc 1 will replace the AMANPADs fielded systems. Medium Range Intercept Capability: The MRIC (Inc 3) will provide the MAGTF Commander the ability to defend fixed/semi-fixed and other designated defended assets against Cruise Missiles, Rockets, Artillery and Mortar (RAM) from a ground based air defense platform. MRIC is designed as a system-of systems and will be integrated with Marine Corps organic Command and Control (C2) and Joint Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture. The program will enhance the MAGTF's ground based air defense capability to rapidly prosecute aerial threats and expand layered defense to the MAGTF and supported Naval Forces. The MRIC is a separate Accomplishment/Planned Program in the FY 2021 President's Budget request to align with the current GBAD FoS structure. Overall, the Ground Based Air Defense $66.517M increase in FY21 funding from FY20 to FY21; in combined baseline and OCO funding, is due to the additional integration, engineering, developmental and operational testing required for major components on the MADIS Increment 1. The increase supports the OSD directive to develop a common command and control system and also procures missiles, canisters, and a launcher to support Early Operational Assessment of the Medium Range Intercept Capability. Funding in this line item has been reprioritized while ensuring the Marine Corps continues to evolve toward a force that is aligned with the National Defense Strategy.
