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 will provide 4 prototype sensors under Urgent Materiel Release (UMR) in FY23. Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) efforts will bridge known capability gaps leading to an Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in FY26 and Full Rate Production in FY27. LTAMDS Fiscal Year (FY) FY2023 funding for UMR include acquiring remaining targets for testing, completing Contractor Verification Test, Developmental Test and Evaluation, and Operational Assessment. P3I tasks include acquiring up to two P3I prototypes, targets for testing, and additional capability development such as non-cooperative target recognition and electronic protect. Other FY2023 tasks include Large Tactical Power System (LTPS) development and integration activities with the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) and PATRIOT family of interceptors (PAC-2 GEM-T, PAC-3, PAC-3 MSE) in support of Integrated Fires and Multi-domain Operations. The total cost of the LTAMDS Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $1,524.8 million RDT&E from FY19 to 1QFY24.
