Jnt Land Atk Msl Def Elevated Netted Sensor-JLENS
Abstract
Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS) is a supporting program of the Army and Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense, providing a persistent surveillance and tracking capability for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Cruise Missile defense to the current and projected defense forces. JLENS will provide fire control quality data to Surface to Air missile systems such as Army Patriot and Navy Aegis; increasing the weapons' capabilities by allowing these systems to engage targets normally below, outside or beyond surface based weapons' field of view. Additionally, JLENS provides this fire control quality data to fighter aircraft allowing them to engage hostile threats from extended ranges. As a secondary role JLENS also detects and tracks Surface Moving Targets. The Program Manager may defer integration of the JLENS secondary roles to provide Launch Point Estimate for Tactical Ballistic Missiles and Large Caliber Rockets, based on Secretary of Defense direction to participate in and conduct an extended test program as part of a Combatant Command (COCOM) Exercise in FY 2012. JLENS supports military operations across the full spectrum of conflict. A JLENS Orbit consists of two systems: a fire control radar system and a wide-area surveillance radar system. Each radar system employs a separate 74-meter tethered aerostat, mobile mooring station, radar and communications payload, processing station, and associated ground support equipment. JLENS uses advanced sensor and networking technologies to provide 360-degree, wide-area surveillance and precision target tracking. This JLENS information is distributed via joint service networks and contributes to the development of a single integrated air picture.
