Abstract

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. Maneuver Short Range Air Defense Increment 2 (M-SHORAD Inc. 2) is a 50 kW-class laser weapon system integrated onto a Stryker Combat Vehicle. The system will provide air defense capability to defeat Rotary Wing (RW); Groups 1-3 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS); Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM); and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) threats to a maneuver unit. M-SHORAD Inc. 2 will transition from the Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) to the Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO M&S) M-SHORAD Product Office in FY 2025. FY 2023 (CR9) funding in the amount of $207.588 million ensures M-SHORAD Inc. 2 system development and maturation will allow transition of effort from RCCTO to PEO M&S.
