Air Launched Decoy Development
Abstract
This project develops a Navy variant of the Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD). The variant will address current and future advanced Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) threats by bringing an air-launched, stand-in EW capability to Department of the Navy (DON) suppression of enemy air defenses/destruction of enemy air defenses (SEAD/DEAD) and standoff conventional land strike. A Navy variant of MALD with stand-in capability increases the range and duration of EW systems while providing flexibility to commanders for employment. To the maximum extent possible, the Navy will utilize existing technology from the current MALD-J production line and other common components (e.g. navigation, communication, guidance and control, payload) to reduce cost, shorten development timelines and promote interoperability. OPNAV approved requirements in a CDD 2Q2018.
