MEDUSA JCTD

Abstract

The Medusa FY 2010 new start Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) will demonstrate the Low Cost Guided Imaging Rockets (LOGIR) technology currently being developed at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lake on the MH-60R. LOGIR provides "fire and forget" capability to 2.75-inch rockets in support of Sea Shield Pillar. LOGIR increases platform lethality against Fast Attack Craft/Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC) threat. LOGIR provides a low-cost Imaging InfraRed (I2R) precision guidance section for the existing 2.75-inch unguided rockets. LOGIR provides maximum precision kills per sortie, low cost, minimum collateral damage, increased efficiency, and increased standoff. Medusa was approved by OSD for a rolling start. OSD is also providing funding for this effort. Initial Program documentation (i.e. Performance Spec, CDD) will be developed within the scope of the JCTD.
