GBAD FWS/COUNTER UAS Product Development
Abstract
Overall, the $56.284M increase from FY18 to FY19, in combined baseline and OCO funding, reflects the Marine Corps continued urgent need to address emergent war fighting requirements for a GBAD Future Weapons System and the Commandant of the Marine Corp (CMC) directed Counter-UAS (C-UAS) assessment, engineering and acquisition efforts to determine and pursue technology solutions required to defeat the full spectrum of threats associated with the Marine Corps Low-Altitude Air Defense mission. Efforts include assessment, engineering analysis and prototype procurement necessary to evaluate various direct energy, electronic attack, missile and projectile capabilities to determine the right mix of technologies required to negate aerial threats and provide the MAGTF, as well as, Bases, Posts and Stations, Force Protection against such threats. With the proliferation of both military and commercial UAS platforms, the program will pursue and acquire GBAD-FWS platforms with a C-UAS capability.
