Hit-to-Kill Interceptor Concept Technology for Defense against Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars (RAM), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and Cruise Missile
Abstract
This effort demonstrates a compact, very light weight, radar and alternative frequency guided Hit-to-Kill missile-based Interceptor concept initially focused to defeat RAM threats in flight with the potential for use on air launched platforms, small weapons platforms, and ground-to-ground applications. This effort designs, fabricates, evaluates, and flight demonstrates a Hit-to-Kill counter RAM system consisting of interceptors and a launch system. Complementary efforts include: Technical Fire Control Technology provides the firing solution and launch command and Counter RAM, UAS and/or Cruise Missile Tracking and Fire Control, PE 0603313A Project 704, provides tracking of the threat for intercept. This effort will support the design, fabrication, integration, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) tests, and flight demonstration of multiple hit-to-kill interceptors. The technologies demonstrated will be applicable to the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), which began the Material Solution Analysis Phase in 4QFY11.
