Area Denial Capability Development
Abstract
Project EK7 Area Denial Capability Development provides for the advanced capability development of Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) systems and develops modernized, non-persistent U.S. Anti-personnel landmine policy compliant munition fields. During joint, multi-domain, high intensity conflict CTSO systems disrupt, fix, turn and block enemy freedom of maneuver while enhancing friendly freedom of maneuver within the same battle space. CTSO systems enable maneuver commanders to directly influence where battlefield engagements occur. CTSO systems will replace a portion of the Family of Scatterable Mines (FASCAM) systems which are beyond their designed life. The project will evaluate integrated technologies and develop prototype systems in a realistic operating environment for the next generation of CTSO systems to achieve doctrinally required obstacle effects during combat operations. CTSO systems will use an open system and modular architecture to facilitate future development, maintenance, repair, and product improvements. XM204 Interim Top Attack program, the first CTSO capability insertion, has entered into production and will achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) by FY 2025 to meet United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) #18-22702. XM204 can operate independently but can be used in conjunction with the Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) system to create a complex obstacle. The Army is incrementally developing an enduring solution to fill the close directed obstacle capability gap. The three increments are the Increment 1 (Top Attack), Increment 2 (Bottom Attack) and Increment 3 (Full Networked Capability) that comply with DoD Landmine Policy. Increments 1 and 2 provide the commander greater speed and flexibility to transition between offensive and defensive operations. Increment 3 Full Network Capability (FNC) will integrate the Top and Bottom Attack programs into Mission Command. The enduring CTSO capability development supports the approved Common Anti-Vehicular Munition (CAVM)-based Close Terrain Shaping Obstacle (CTSO) Abbreviated-Capability Development Document (A-CDD) and Army Futures Command (AFC) Terrain Shaping Strategy for Land Domain and Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). CAVM will be used for future mid and deep ranges in accordance with the AFC Terrain Shaping Strategy for Land Domain and MDO. CTSO systems are a networked munition capability suite composed of top and bottom attack munitions which can be employed independently or together to create a controlled, scalable complex obstacle. The total cost of the CTSO Inc. 1 Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $101 million RDT&E from FY23 to FY24. The CTSO Inc. 1 MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
