Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System (MDACS)
Abstract
The Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System (MDACS) is rapid prototype, deep magazine, cost-effective, and scalable system consisting of a Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon (MDAC), Multi-Function Precision Radar (MFPR), Multi-Domain Battle Manager (MDBM), Hypervelocity Projectiles (HVP), and an Ammo Handler Vehicle. MDACS complements existing AMD systems and provides integrated and standalone defense against a broad range of threats. MDACS will provide the Joint Force with defense of fixed and semi-fixed sites against Cruise Missiles (CM) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) while significantly increasing magazine depth and reducing cost-per-engagement. The Army will leverage current OSD investments and will prototype and assess MDACS at Battery level in FY 2028 with residual combat capability. The prototype will inform an enduring capability requirement.
