MALD-J
Abstract
This project develops the Miniature Air Launched Decoy Jammer (MALD-J). The jammer is a variant of the MALD decoy and will be able to operate in both decoy and jammer modes. The decoy and jammer configurations are key enablers supporting the Air Force Global Strike, Global Response, Space and C4ISR, and the Air and Space Expeditionary Force Concepts of Operations. MALD-J will provide stand-in jamming capability for the Airborne Electronic Attack Systems of Systems. It will be launched against a preplanned target and jam specific radars in a stand-in role to degrade or deny the IADS detection of friendly aircraft or munitions. Planned efforts for this program are risk reduction (to include prototyping) and Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) of the jammer configuration and any other direct variant. This will include design, development, test, aircraft integration, and seamless verification.
