Hit-to-Kill Interceptor Concept Technology for Defense against Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars (RAM), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and Cruise Missiles
Abstract
This effort demonstrates a compact, very light weight, RF seeker guided Hit-to-Kill (HTK) missile-based Interceptor concept initially focused to defeat RAM threats in flight with the potential for use on air launched platforms, small weapons platforms, and ground-to-ground applications. This effort designs, fabricates, and evaluates a Hit-to-Kill counter RAM system consisting of interceptors and a launch system. Complementary efforts include: Technical Fire Control Technology provides the firing solution and launch command and Counter RAM, UAS and/or Cruise Missile Tracking and Fire Control, PE 0603313A Project 704, provides tracking of the threat for intercept. This effort will support the design, fabrication, integration, and HWIL tests of multiple hit-to-kill interceptors. The technologies demonstrated will be applicable to the IFPC.
