Future Air Defense Missile Enabling Tech
Abstract
This project investigates, develops, and evaluates critical missile technologies and components necessary for advanced lethal capability in support of future/mid to far term 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 effort designs and develops technologies to provide advanced materials for 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. This project supports Air and Missile Defense Modernization priority efforts. This research is coordinated with Project PE 602141A Lethality Technology /CJ6 (Advanced Energetics for Missile Technologies); PE 0602147A Long Range Precision Fires Technology /AF3 (Extended Range Propulsion) and AF8 (Affordable Extended Range Precision). The research complements PE 602150A Air and Missile Defense Technology /AD3 (Manuever Air Defense Technology) and PE 0603466A Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology / AD4 (Maneuver Air Defense Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
