High Speed Maneuverable Missile (HSMM) Tech

Abstract

The Project investigates, designs, and evaluates missile component technologies compatible with Future Vertical Lift (FVL) and Future Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FUAS) aviation platforms in a Multi-Domain Battle/Cross-domain Maneuver operational environment. Efforts provide technologies to support a smaller, faster, maneuverable missile capable of long range non-line-of-sight attack in contested/degraded environments. Technology development increases aviation lethality and platform survivability by increasing missile standoff range, speed, and maneuverability, a faster rate of fire, shorter times of flight, and multi-threat lethal effects. Enables cross domain applications for aviation and ground vehicle platforms, including handoff capability, to engage threats in dead zones, and to operate in contested environments. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
