Low Cost/Near Term Counter-Man Portable Air Defense Systems
Abstract
Low cost, near term technologies to allow Department of Defense aircraft to fly in medium to high ManPADS threat airspace in support of Overseas Contingency Operations. Emphasis is on threats, aircraft and system approaches not covered by existing programs of record; including innovative active missile warning, advanced kinetic decoys, miniature high reliability lasers, ultra-short pulsed lasers, magnetically steered high reliability pointer-trackers, higher powered and higher duty cycle lasers, data linked mutual warning and countermeasures, and preemptive countermeasures systems. Initial tasks leading to a rapid technology transition will be completed.
