Precision Fire Control and Low-Cost Interceptors


Advancing fire control technologies to enable cruise missile defense using small, low-cost interceptors that contribute to the layered defense of surface combatants and expeditionary forces both in capability and capacity to defeat complex raids of hypersonic missiles and cruise missiles.

Objectives

  • Develop precision guidance and fire control technologies
  • Demonstrate engagement of surrogate air threats with hypervelocity projectiles (HVPs) and modified MK 66 2.75-inch rockets
  • Develop low-cost missiles to intercept hypersonic missiles and aircrafts at high altitudes

Research Areas

  • Novel fire control and communication waveforms
  • Precision aero-control devices
  • Adaptive and collaborative guidance laws
  • High acceleration-tolerant electronic components

Applications

  • Advanced RF seekers
  • Advanced radar track filters
  • Gun-launched guided projectiles
  • Small guided missile interceptors
