Guided Interceptor Concept Technology for defense against Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars (RAM)
Abstract
This effort demonstrates a Guided missile-based Interceptor concept with a high explosive warhead initially focused to defeat RAM threats with the potential for precision ground-to-ground applications. This effort designs, fabricates, evaluates, and flight demonstrates a guided missile-based interceptor and launch system. Complementary efforts include: Technical Fire Control Technology provides the interceptor with a firing solution and launch command and Counter RAM Tracking and Fire Control, in PE 0603313A Project 704, tracks the RAM threat. This effort will support the design, fabrication, integration, and flight demonstration of 2-4 guided interceptors each year beginning in FY 2012. Beginning in FY12, this effort combines the Defense against RAM and Enhanced Precision Interceptor Technology efforts to provide more detail on the two technically different missile-based counter-RAM systems that are being flight demonstrated. The technologies demonstrated will be applicable to the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), which began the Material Solution Analysis Phase in 4QFY11.
