Low-Cost Precision Intercept
Abstract
Low-Cost Precision Intercept supports the National Defense Strategy’s priority to develop a more lethal force. Initially funded in FY 2017, the project will demonstrate the viability of an ultra-low size, weight, power, and cost terminal guidance seeker paired with a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) to provide a low-cost, long-range platform capable of close range intercept of sUAS threats. In FY 2018, this project integrated the prototype sensor onto a sUAS platform interceptor vehicle. Testing and experimentation demonstrated a tactically relevant autonomous encounter with a sUAS threat and explored various concepts of operation.
