MISSILE DEFENSE (MD)
Abstract
This activity describes Missile Defense Science and Technology (S&T) projects of the Sea Shield Future Naval Capability (FNC) program and an OSD-funded Joint Integrated Fire Control (JIFC) demonstration. - Advanced Area Defense Interceptor (AADI) S&T planning and data analysis effort for Navy-Marine Corps Air-Directed Surface-to-Air Missile (ADSAM) live firing demonstration at White Sands Missile Range in May 2009. The metric for AADI was execution of an ADSAM demonstration by the Navy and Marine Corps that establishes the basis for further development of an operational Naval Integrated Fire Control/Counter-Air (NIFC-CA) capability. - Naval Interceptor Improvements (NII) technology upgrades for STANDARD Missile (SM) future missile. Metrics will be to achieve SM performance requirements in specified tactical rain environments and all specified electronic countermeasures environments, while meeting the planned transition date. - Extended Distributed Weapons Coordination (EDWC) algorithms to extend Distributed Weapons Coordination (DWC) Automated Battle Management Aids (ABMA) functionality to include coordination of passive defense measures (emission control, use of decoys, maneuvering). Metrics will be improved probability of negation (Pneg) against advanced ballistic & cruise missile anti-ship threats that may be susceptible to decoys & jamming, while meeting the planned transition date. - Positive Control of Naval Weapons (PCNW) - additional technology upgrades for SM to enable forward relay, remote launch and potentially forward pass engagements. Metrics are classified. - Midcourse and Terminal Algorithms (MTA) for interceptor and associated weapon system enhancements to defeat advanced anti-ship missile threats with high confidence. Specific metrics are classified. - Enhanced Lethality Guidance Algorithms (ELGA) to increase probability of kill versus an expanded threat set including ASBMs and advanced ASCMs. Metrics for this project will be classified. - Enhanced Maneuverability Missile Airframe (EMMA) technology for Navy shipboard missile systems to intercept highly agile maneuvering ASCMs and ASBMs. Metrics for this project will be classified. - Integrated Active & Electronic Defense (IAED) technology basis for response combinations of active and electronic weapons & systems to optimize Pneg against ASBMs and ASCMs, including potential interactions. Metrics will be classified. - Joint Integrated Fire Control (JIFC) S&T planning and preparations, non-FNC expansion of the AADI ADSAM demonstration, to support participation of Army, Air Force and coalition sensor and weapon test assets. The metric for this expanded participation was a series of demonstrations in FY08-09 that showed a technology basis for effective interoperability with Navy and Marine Corps participating systems to defend expeditionary forces from air and missile attacks. Funding decreases in FY 2009 to FY 2010 reflects completion of AADI and JIFC projects. Funding increases from FY 2010 to FY 2011 as a result from EDWC, NII and PCNW project funding migrating from Applied Research (6.2) to Advanced Research (6.3) in their last year of effort before transition to acquisition. The MTA project ramps up in FY2010 while the ELGA and EMMA projects start in FY2010, also accounting for part of this increase.
