Glide Phase Defeat Weapon System
Abstract
This effort develops an operational defensive capability to engage and defeat regional hypersonic threats during the glide phase of flight using the proven Aegis Weapon System. This will provide an additional layer of hypersonic defense from an Aegis ship which also augments Sea-Based Terminal capability by extending the battlespace of early terminal. The operational defensive capability includes the development of a GPI missile that reduces the operational seam currently used by hypersonic threats to fly between air defense and ballistic missile defense systems. The effort also includes updates to the Aegis Weapon System and C2BMC for planning, tracking and conducting launch on remote engagements against hypersonic threats within the MDS as well as conducting studies and advancing hypersonic capability to legacy Aegis Weapon Systems. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
