Future Interceptor
Abstract
The warfighter community is actively developing operational requirements for the Future Interceptor that will defend against current and emerging near-peer threats. The Future Interceptor will complement current sensor programs and is required to be employed in 2028. The Future Interceptor program will provide 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, attitude, and maneuverability. Current funding provides refinements/updates to drafted Architecture Design/Concept Definitions, Performance Study Reports, Program Feasibility/Acquisition Strategy documents already delivered to the USG as part of Phase I. It also continues Virtual Missile Model (VMM) development to support rapid prototyping and concept definition. Products from the Future Interceptor concept definition phase support rapid prototyping technologies that will be used in future efforts to competitively down select to a single vendor.
