Maneuver Air Defense Technology

Abstract

This Project directly supports Army Modernization Priority Air and Missile Defense capabilities by investigating and developing critical missile technologies and components necessary for an affordable short range air defense interceptor capability to defeat Cruise Missile (CM), Rotary Wing (RW), Tactical / Lethal Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), and Fixed Wing (FW) threats. This Project also designs and develops technologies to provide reduced size weight and power and cost for Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (MSHORAD), Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD), and Lower Tier essential to maintain overmatch against mid-/far-term threats. Work in this Project complements Program Element (PE) 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology) / Project AD4 (Maneuver Air Defense Advanced Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
