Guided Interceptor Concept Technology for defense against Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars (RAM), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and Cruise Missile

Abstract

This effort demonstrates a Guided missile-based Interceptor concept with a high explosive warhead initially focused to defeat RAM, UAS, and Cruise Missile threats with the potential for precision ground-to-ground applications. This effort designs, fabricates, evaluates, and flight demonstrates a guided missile-based interceptor and launch system. The complementary effort, Technical Fire Control Technology, provides the interceptor with a firing solution and launch command, and Counter RAM, UAS and/or Cruise Missile Tracking and Fire Control, in PE 0603313A Project 704, tracks the RAM, UAS, and Cruise Missile threat. This effort will support the design, fabrication, integration, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) tests, and flight demonstration of multiple guided interceptors beginning in FY 2014. The technologies demonstrated will be applicable to the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), which began the Material Solution Analysis Phase in 4QFY11 and other Air and Missile Defense programs.
