National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) (Air Force)
Abstract
Integrate the NASAMS fire distribution center (FDC) with existing Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System / Command and Control (IAMD/C2) architecture currently deployed at a Combatant Command’s forward operating base. The Services have a mid-tier engagement operational gap (cruise missile and group 3-5 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) they are planning to fill with an interim solution, followed by the enduring solution but maturity is not expected until beyond 2025. This evaluation will provide data to those decision makers. Planned evaluation is to conduct various simulated threat events drills to assess operational performance of warfighter and system. It will leverage an Air Force experiment to assess operational utility of NASAM's Mark 11 guided missile launching system (GMLS) launcher in a system of systems with sensors and Command and Control (C2). It will also validate critical assumptions and performance metrics used in defense of the airspace around a base. This evaluation will provide critical data for the design of the comprehensive IAMD solution for troops at a forward location or any base. Contracts do not include live fire or system redeployment unless additional contract awarded.
