Air Defense Weapons System
Abstract
Marine Corps Air Defense Weapons Systems includes multiple Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Force Design priority items. It supports the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalion's mission 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) and manned fixed wing/rotary wing aircraft. With the proliferation of both military and commercial UAS and platforms, the program is pursuing and acquiring more lethal and survivable air defense weapons systems platforms; such as JLTV's with armored protection and better maneuverability than a HMMWV, providing increased Counter-UAS (C-UAS) and FW/RW 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 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 initiated 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 and air defense 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 1 Block 2 will focus on the development of kinetic and non-kinetic capability supporting increased lethality. This includes the development of 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 A-MANPADS fielded systems. The MADIS FoS also includes the Light 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 within organic Marine Corps R/W aircraft, 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 Rotary Wing (FW/RW), and other airborne threats throughout the operating environment while maintaining Marine Corps expeditionary requirements. Medium Range Intercept Capability (MRIC): The MRIC provides 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 4Q FY 2022 and will be comprised of expeditionary 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. FY 2023 focuses on integration testing leading to certification for deployment. This effort informs the investment to meet the Force Design requirements to field an MRIC Battery to each of the three LAAD Battalions in FY 2026, FY 2027, and FY 2028 to support operations including Expeditionary Advanced Based Operations (EABO). Overall, Marine Corps Air Defense Weapons Systems decreases $12.845M from FY 2022 to FY 2023 is due to the completion of development and integration of the MADIS Increment 1 as well as the completion of system integration test #1 and #2 (2a, 2b, and 2c) as depicted on the MADIS Increment 1 program schedule. MADIS Increment 1 reaches MS C in 2Q FY 2023.
