High Power Microwave for Air Base Defense (HPM – ABAD)
Abstract
The HPM prototype, Counter Cruise Missile Extended Range Air Base Air Defense (ABAD), is designed to deliver sufficient power levels to negate cruise missile threats. The system provides a low cost per shot and a deep magazine. This FY 2023 effort integrated sensors with the ABAD HPM and assessed the capability of the integrated system. The risk mitigation testing supports transition to the Air Force and Navy, providing future capabilities to the U.S. Pacific Command.
