Area Denial Capability Development

Abstract

This project provides for the Concept Exploration and Refinement of a Deep-Range employed Networked Obstacle. This project develops alternatives to the aging inventory of the Family of Scatterable Mines systems. Area Denial Capability Development will evaluate integrated technologies and prototype systems in a realistic operating environment to expedite technology transition for a Deep-Range employed Networked Obstacle that denies the enemy terrain and freedom of action while allowing friendly forces to maneuver freely within the same battlespace. Area Denial Capability Development provides Man-in-the-Loop (MITL) controlled scalable effects against mounted and dismounted enemy forces that disrupt, turn, fix or block their ability to maneuver. Area Denial Capability Development enables the Combatant Commander to establish early Situational Awareness of an area without exposing friendly forces to enemy engagement, and to actively detect, identify, discriminate, and engage the enemy in order to shape the battlespace at deep operational ranges. Area Denial Capability Development will utilize an open system, modular architecture to facilitate future development, maintenance, repair, and product improvements.
