Area Denial Capability Development

Abstract

Project EK7 Area Denial Capability Development provides for the advanced capability development of terrain shaping obstacle systems and develops modernized alternatives to the Family of Scatterable Mines. The project will evaluate integrated technologies and develop prototype systems in a realistic operating environment for the next generation of Terrain Shaping Obstacles (TSO). TSO will deny the enemy terrain and freedom of action in a joint, multi-domain, high-intensity conflict while allowing friendly forces to maneuver freely within the same battle space. TSO may include multiple methods of defeat to include top attack and bottom attack and provide controlled scalable effects against mounted enemy forces that disrupt, turn, fix, delay or block their ability to maneuver. TSO enables the Combatant Commander to shape the battle space without exposing friendly forces to enemy engagement. This capability supports Army Modernization priorities as a critical enabler for soldier lethality and creates targets for long range precision fires within the engagement area. TSO will utilize an open system and modular architecture to facilitate future development, maintenance, repair, and product improvements. TSO supports a United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) # 18-22702.
