GBAD FWS/COUNTER UAS Product Development
Abstract
NOTE: The decrease of $10.286M from FY17 to FY18 reflects the Marine Corps assessment to address emergency war fighting requirements for a GBAD Future Weapons System and the Commandant of the Marine Corp (CMC) directed Counter-UAS (C-UAS) assessment, engineering and acquisition efforts to determine and pursue technology solutions required to defeat the full spectrum of threats associated with the Marine Corps Low-Altitude Air Defense mission to include C-UAS. Efforts will include assessment, engineering analysis and prototype procurement necessary to evaluate various direct energy, electronic attack, missile and projectile capabilities to determine the right mix of technologies required to negate aerial threats and provide the MAGTF, as well as, Bases, Posts and Stations, Force Protection against such threats. With the proliferation of both military and commercial UAS platforms, the program will pursue and acquire GBAD-FWS platforms with a C-UAS capability.
