ANTI-PERSONNEL LANDMINE ALTERNATIVES (NSD)
Abstract
Spider Networked Munitions (NM) is an integrated system of effects (lethal anti-personnel (AP), anti-vehicle (AV), non-lethal), software, and communications. The Spider system is a hand emplaced, remotely controlled (Man-In-The Loop) system that provides highly responsive terrain-shaping and protection capabilities. Spider Inc 1 replaces persistent anti-personnel landmines, is compliant with US National Landmine policy, and has been fielded to Afghanistan. Spider Inc 2 will build on the existing Spider system, develop additional capabilities to enhance the Spider Remote Control Station and demonstrate the ability to employ legacy Government-Of-The-Shelf (GOTS) lethal anti-vehicle (AV) munitions. Spider Increment 2 is the recipient of the transferred AV landmine alternative mission from the Intelligent Munitions System program (Scorpion) that was closed out due to affordability. Follow-on Increments of the Spider program will leverage heavy AV/Anti-Tank (AT) munitions effects technology to close the capability gap left by the end use of persistent AP and AV/AT legacy landmines IAW National Landmine Policy.
