Regional Hypersonic Missile Defense Capability
Abstract
Develop and deliver a defensive capability to engage and defeat regional hypersonic threats during the glide phase of flight using the proven Aegis Weapon System (AWS). This will provide an additional layer of regional hypersonic defense from an Aegis ship, which also complements the Sea-Based Terminal capability by extending the battlespace. The defensive capability includes the development of a regional GPI missile that reduces the operational seam currently used by hypersonic threats to fly between air defense and ballistic missile defense systems. The effort also includes updates to the AWS for planning, tracking and conducting remote engagements against hypersonic threats within the Missile Defense System as well as conducting studies and advancing hypersonic capability to Legacy Aegis Weapon Systems. Perform Systems Engineering, architecture analysis, modeling and simulation, advanced hypersonic technology development, and integrate the new capability into the Missile Defense System. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
