MEDUSA JCTD

Abstract

The Medusa 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 China Lake on the MH-60S. LOGIR provides "fire and forget" capability to 2.75-inch rockets in support of Sea Shield Pillar, increases platform lethality against Fast Attack Craft/Fast Inshore Attack Craft threat, provides a low-cost Imaging InfraRed precision guidance section for the existing 2.75-inch unguided rockets and provides maximum precision kills per sortie, low cost, minimum collateral damage, increased efficiency, and increased standoff. OSD is also providing funding for this effort. Initial Program documentation (i.e. Performance Spec, Capabilities Development Document) will be developed within the scope of the JCTD.
