Mobile Force Protection (MFP)
Abstract
The goal of the Mobile Force Protection (MFP) was to develop and demonstrate an integrated system capable of defeating a raid of self-guided small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) attacking a high value convoy on the move. By focusing on protecting mobile assets, the program emphasized low footprint solutions, in terms of size, weight, power (SWaP), and manning, which benefited other counter-UAS missions and resulted in more affordable systems. Defending in a variety of operating environments against these sUAS threats and associated concept of operations required several breakthroughs in affordable technology to sense, decide and act on a compressed timeline while mitigating collateral damage. The program developed solutions applicable to the defense of mobile ground and naval forces that can also potentially defeat more conventional threats. The solutions are scalable and modular such that they can be deployed in multiple defense applications and do not become obsolete with evolving threat capability.
