Air Defense Weapons System
Abstract
Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) includes multiple Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Force Design priority items. It 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; maneuver forces, 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 Aircraft 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 (C-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 Aircraft 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 (Inc 1) on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), the ACAT II Program of Record that will initiate at MS B in 3Q FY 2021. 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, which has increased their nefarious use by both state and non-state actors. 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. It also includes the MADIS Inc 1 which is 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 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 and 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. The MADIS FoS also includes the Lightweight Marine Air Defense Integrated System (L-MADIS), which will be accomplished with the development, test, and installation of Government Furnished C-UAS equipment on a Ultra-Light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV). The L-MADIS Program of Record (PoR) system is comprised of two vehicles; a MK 1 (Command and Control vehicle), and a MK 2 (Early Warning / Electronic Warfare vehicle). The L-MADIS PoR will replace the systems fielded under a Joint Urgent and Emergent Operational Need Statement. The L-MADIS will provide the Marine Corps a capability different than that of the MADIS Increment 1. The L-MADIS is transportable with organic Marine Corps assets, allowing Marines to face challenging operational scenarios during Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) operations. The L-MADIS will protect the maneuver force from threat of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Fixed Wing and Rotor Wing (FW/RW), and other airborne threats throughout the operating environment while maintaining Marine Corps expeditionary requirements. Medium Range Intercept Capability (MRIC): The MRIC will provide the Marine Corps Expeditionary Force Commander a capability to defend fixed and operationally fixed sites primarily against threat subsonic/supersonic cruise missiles; secondarily against UAS and other aerial threats that enter into the MRIC's Weapons Engagement Zone (WEZ). MRIC is designed as a system-of-systems and will be integrated with Marine Corps organic Command and Control (C2) and Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture. The program will enhance the expeditionary force ground based air defense (GBAD) capability to rapidly prosecute aerial threats and expand layered defense of the Expeditionary and Naval Forces. The MRIC Prototype Development will be completed 4QFY22 and comprised of missile launchers, intercept missiles, and a C2 system that are able to utilize available AN/TPS-80 G/ ATOR radar for surveillance and fire control. This effort informs the investment to meet the Force Design requirements to field an MRIC Battery to each of the three LAAD Battalions in FY26, FY27 and FY28 to support operations including Expeditionary Advanced Based Operations (EABO). Overall, Ground Based Air Defense decreases $60.846M from FY 2021 to FY 2022 is due to the completion of development and integration of the MADIS Increment 1 to support system integration and verification tests as well as Operational Assessment (OA) in FY 2022. The decrease is also due to the completion of development and integration of the Medium Range Intercept Capability (MRIC) prototype in order to support live fire and tracking exercises in FY 2022. In FY 2022 MRIC is in a new project (PU 2578) in order to provide greater transparency. MRIC is a separate capability set and distinct from MADIS FoS. FY 2021 delta from the previous budget submission of $12.671M is due to the rescope of tracking and live fire exercises of the MRIC prototype as well as a reduction in quantity of missiles and canisters utilized for test.
