Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Sys (C-sUAS) Tech
Abstract
This Project investigates, designs and develops novel Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) kinetic missile interceptor capabilities. Project will transition technologies for increased range, reduce reaction time, increase lethality, improve reliability, reduce reload time for fixed site and mobile C-sUAS configurations. Provides maneuver forces a quick-response, high speed, long-range kinetic interceptor capabilities against Group 3 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) that operate at higher altitudes with greater standoff ranges for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Designs and develops small, lightweight, and low-cost missile interceptor technologies for increased magazine depth (stowed kills) to enable brigade/maneuver force kinetic defeat numerous sUAS at short range. Provides deeper magazine against sUAS threats with versatile employment options at a low cost provides maneuver forces increased freedom of movement and protection during large scale combat operations. This project supports Air and Missile Defense Modernization priority efforts. This research is coordinated with PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology) / Project CJ7 (Future Air and Missile Defense Enabling Technology); PE 0602147A (Long Range Precision Fires Technology / Project AF8 (Affordable Extended Range Precision Technology) and will transition for further maturation to PE 0603464A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology) / Project SU2 (Counter s-UAS Advanced Tech) The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC).
