Area Denial Capability Development

Abstract

This project provides for the Development of a Deep-Range employed Networked Obstacle to replace 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. The obstacle will be delivered via fixed wing aircraft and will deny the enemy terrain and freedom of action while allowing friendly forces to maneuver freely within the same battlespace. Area Denial Capability Development provides controlled scalable effects against mounted enemy forces that disrupt, turn, fix, delay 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, 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.
