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 Concept of Operations. MALD-J will provide stand-in jamming capability for the Airborne Electronic Attack System of Systems. It will be launched against a preplanned target and jam specific radars in a stand-in role to degrade or deny the Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) detection of friendly aircraft or munitions. Planned efforts for this program are risk reduction (to include prototyping), Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD), and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) of the jammer configuration and any other direct increment or variant. This will include design, development, test, aircraft integration, and seamless verification. BA5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
