Medusa
Abstract
Medusa demonstrates the employment of the Low Cost Guided Imaging Rocket aboard the U.S. Navy MH-60S helicopter against a multi-axis simultaneous attack from Fast Attack Craft and Fast Inshore Attack Craft. In this manner, U.S. and coalition surface ship formations can protect themselves against coordinated asymmetric threats in a maritime environment. This capability will provide a leap ahead of current ship self-protection options, and contribute to a multi-layered, scalable maritime defense strategy. Additionally, the technology is readily adaptable for use against land-based targets. The COCOM sponsor is U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) and lead Service is the U.S. Navy.
