Interceptor Technology
Abstract
In FY 2019, MDA along with industry partners will develop Hypersonic Defense Weapon Systems concept architectures (weapon and kill chain) that are able to engage the hypersonic threats at much greater ranges during the threat's glide phase and in terminal phase for layered defense. The weapon systems concepts will provide MDA insight into architecture performance, cost, and schedule for future development efforts. Hypersonic Defense Weapon Systems Concept Definition seeks investigation of a broad trade space for innovative concepts that can provide affordable, reliable, and robust capabilities to negate hypersonic vehicle threats. For FY 2020, MDA in coordination with the United States Air Force (USAF) is developing engineering and test requirements to support joint USAF/MDA program oversight and verification of a USAF system under development to provide a missile defense capability.
