Future Interceptor

Abstract

The Future Interceptor program will provide improved operational effectiveness against current and evolving air, missile, and hypersonic threats within the lower tier portion of the ballistic missile defense battlespace. The future interceptor will increase Air and Missile Defense (AMD) capability through increased velocity, altitude, and maneuverability. Program funding supports existing Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) with multiple vendors currently providing definition and analysis of interceptor concepts to address the evolving theatre ballistic missile and hypersonic threats requirement. Existing OTAs are contributing to requirements definitization and subsequent execution of the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). The acquisition program will competitively select a future interceptor to complement existing Air and Missile Defense (AMD) capabilities to overmatch evolving threat.
