Lower Tier Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability
Abstract
Lower Tier Air Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability program will provide the required sensing capabilities in the lower tier portion of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The acquisition program will competitively select (full and open competition) the sensor/radar set (RS) to replace the baseline PATRIOT RS (AN/MPQ-65A) due to threat changes and the growing obsolescence and high Operational & Support (O&S) cost of the existing RS. The LTAMD Capability will address critical capability gaps, modernize technology, reduce O&S costs, mitigate obsolescence, and increase reliability and maintainability. The LTAMD capability will increase sensor/radar performance to maximize the inherent PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) Interceptor capabilities to engage threats. Lower Tier Air Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability tasks include the programmatic and engineering activities needed for LTAMD-Capability post Milestone A activities, and preparation required to execute the competitive Technology Maturity and Risk Reduction (TMRR) contract. Once proposed TMRR material solution have been evaluated, the development effort for LTAMD Capability will be continued into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase to enable the prototyping, development, and testing of the LTAMD Capability.
