Lower Tier Air Missile Defense (LTAMD) Capability

Abstract

The Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) satisfies the Warfighter's capability requirements in the Integrated Air and Missile Defense domain. The program provides the required sensing capabilities in the lower tier portion of the air and missile defense battlespace and expands the battlespace for the PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) interceptor. The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved LTAMDS requirements in April 2016. The Army will competitively select the LTAMDS to service Air and Missile Defense threats using state of the art technology, reduce Operating and Sustainment, mitigate obsolescence, and increase reliability and maintainability. LTAMDS FY 2020 funding will be utilized for procurement of prototypes, integration of LTAMDS technology into prototypes, further development of system performance specifications, and to initiate contractor verification testing. FY 2020 activities support the FY 2018 NDAA requirement to accelerate LTAMDS Initial Operational Capability to not later than December 2023.
