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, and will be upgradable for the Future Interceptor. The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved LTAMDS requirements in April 2016. The Army competitively selected the LTAMDS, which will counter air and missile defense threats using state-of-the-art technology, while reducing operating and sustainment costs, mitigating obsolescence, and increasing reliability and maintainability. LTAMDS Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding will be utilized for Production Representative Units manufacturing (final phase of Contractor Verification Testing and purchase of three prototypes), acquiring targets, acquiring long lead items, and supporting programmatic and engineering activities needed to integrate the LTAMDS equipment with the Integrated Battle Command System, the PAC-3 Interceptor, and the Integrated Fire Control Network relay. FY 2021 funding supports additional capabilities to meet full LTAMDS requirements, to include Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I). It further supports initial Government Developmental Testing and Qualification Testing events. FY 2021 activities support the FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirement to accelerate LTAMDS Initial Operational Capability to no later than December 2023.
