Hit-to-Kill Interceptor Technology for Defense against Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars
Abstract
This effort demonstrates a compact, radar frequency guided hit-to-kill missile-based interceptor initially focused to defeat rockets, artillery, and mortar (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, evaluates, and flight demonstrates a hit-to-kill counter RAM system consisting of interceptors and a launch system. The complementary efforts: Technical Fire Control Technology provides the firing solution and launch command and Counter RAM Tracking and Fire Control, PE 0603313A Project 704, provides tracking of the RAM threat for intercept. Beginning in FY12, this effort combines the Defense against RAM and Enhanced Precision Interceptor Technology efforts to provide more detail on the two technically different missile-based counter-RAM systems that are being flight demonstrated.
