Maneuver - Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD)

Abstract

Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) capabilities protect maneuvering forces by defeating, destroying, or neutralizing threat rotary-wing (RW), fixed-wing (FW), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), rockets, artillery and mortar (RAM) capabilities. M-SHORAD is a Family of Systems (FoS) that perform operations to detect, track, and engage threat aerial objects without any external support. The M-SHORAD capability will be provided through a multi-phase approach including the rapidly fielded M-SHORAD Increment 1 (Inc. 1), formally known as Initial M-SHORAD system, and the follow-on M-SHORAD Increments 2 and 3 supported by a Joint Requirements Oversight Council approved Capability Development Document (CDD). * Inc.1 system consists of existing capabilities integrated onto a Stryker A1 Double-V Hull (DVH) Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) which includes the Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) and Mission Equipment Package (MEP). * Inc. 2 is a 50 kilowatt(kW)-class laser integrated onto a Stryker combat Vehicle. * Inc. 3 will be the Next Generation interceptors to be compatible with Inc.1 platform. Budget Item Justification Key PB22 Activity: M-SHORAD Inc. 1: - First Fielding of 4 Systems (1 Platoon) April 2021 - Field 28 Systems (BN #1) 3Q-4QFY22 - Procure 37 Systems in FY22 M-SHORAD Inc. 2: - Award OTA contract through RCCTO for prototyping - Field prototype platoon M-SHORAD Inc. 3: - Pre-solicitation programmatic and technical activities M-SHORAD programs will develop nascent capability and support Army demonstration and test initiatives to increase integrated offensive and defensive capability across warfighter functions and multiple domains. This program supports the Air and Missile Defense Cross Functional Team (CFT). .
