MISSILE DEFENSE (MD)
Abstract
This activity describes Missile Defense S&T projects of the Sea Shield FNC program, and non-FNC-related Navy research. - Naval Interceptor Improvements (NII) technology upgrades for STANDARD Missile (SM) future fleet air defense missile. Metrics are to achieve SM performance requirements in specified tactical rain environments and achieve SM performance requirements in all specified electronic countermeasures environments. - Extended Distributed Weapons Coordination (EDWC) algorithms for an Automated Battle Management Aid (ABMA) that recommends hard kill weapons, soft kill countermeasures, and emission control measures to reduce the probability of being hit or to optimally engage threats with self-defense weapons. Metric is improved probability of negation (Pneg) against advanced ballistic & cruise missile anti-ship threats that may be susceptible to decoys and jamming. - Positive Control of Naval Weapons (PCNW) - additional technology upgrades for SM to enable forward relay, remote launch & potentially forward pass engagements. Metrics are classified. - Midcourse and Terminal Algorithms (MTA) for prototype state-of-the art weapon system algorithms for STANDARD Missile (SM) engagements vs modern anti-ship missile threats. Specific metrics are classified. - Enhanced Lethality Guidance Algorithms (ELGA) to increase Navy shipboard missile probability of kill versus an expanded threat set including ASBMs and advanced ASCMs. Metrics for this project are classified. - Enhanced Maneuverability Missile Airframe (EMMA) technology for Navy shipboard missile systems to intercept highly agile maneuvering ASCMs and ASBMs. Metrics for this project are classified. - Integrated Active & Electronic Defense (IAED) technology basis for response combinations of active and electronic weapons & systems to optimize Pneg against ASBMs and ASCMs, including potential interactions. Metrics are classified. - Radar Resource Manager (RRM) algorithms and software for weapon control system capability to provide dynamic platform and force-level radar management and coordination of radar resources for integrated air and missile defense (IAMD). Metrics will be classified. - Non-FNC-related investigation of effects of charged particle layers on UHF to S-Band radars used to track space vehicles and initiate development of advanced electromagnetic decoy launchers and payloads. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding increase reflects initiation of the RRM project.
