3 Army S&T Principles and Vision (AMRDEC Support to Missile Systems) FOSTER INNOVATION AND ACCELERATE/MATURE TECHNOLOGY TO ENABLE FUTURE FORCE CAPABILITIES WHILE EXPLOITING OPPORTUNITIES TO RAPIDLY TRANSITION TECHNOLOGY TO THE CURRENT FORCE Non-Line-Of- Sight (NLOS) Miniature Hit To Kill (MHTK) Joint Air-to- Ground Missile (JAGM) Extended Area Protection & Survivability Sensor, Warhead, & Fuze Technology Integrated for Combined Effects (SWFTICE)

4 AMRDEC Missile Capability Area Definitions PROTECTION Protect the force and selected geopolitical assets from aerial attack, missile attack and surveillance Air Defense Area Protection Platform Protection FIRE SUPPORT Destroy, neutralize, or suppress the enemy by cannon, rocket, and missile fire and to help integrate fire support assets into combined arms operations GROUND TACTICAL (CLOSE COMBAT) Direct fire weapons, supported by indirect fire, air-delivered fires, and nonlethal engagement means to decide the outcome of battles and engagements AVIATION Find, fix, and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver; and to provide combat, combat service and combat service support in coordinated operations as an integral member of the combined arms team

5 Core Competencies that Support the Mission

6 Missile S&T Thrust for FY12-17 POM Current Conflicts Have Pushed Survivability and Multi-Purpose Lethality Needs to the Forefront Force protection systems Precision lethality in urban terrain with minimal collateral damage Insensitive munitions Scalable effects Cooperative engagement Missile S&T Emphasis: Protection Extended Area Protection & Survivability (EAPS) Advanced Active Protection System (APS) Future Interceptor technologies (cruise missile defense) Long Range Fires/Strike Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) upgrades/ alternate warhead Non-Line of Site Launch System (NLOS-LS) upgrades/variants

7 EAPS Integrated Demo FY09-FY13: Critical Technologies & Key Elements Integrated and Flight Demonstrated Technical Fire Control Fire Control Sensor Demonstrate fire control sensor technology and prototype hardware that supports projectile concepts and flight demonstration. Demonstrate fire control sensors, missile and bullet projectiles, and guns/launchers can be integrated into a weapons system capable of meeting mission requirements. Track Illuminate Guide to Target Intercept Target Projectile Threat Mortars Artillery Rockets Unmanned Arial Vehicles Cruise Missiles Rotary Wing Aircraft Demonstrate missile and bullet technology and prototype hardware through flight demonstration and intercept/ defeat of RAM targets. Launch Launcher Integration Demonstrate missile integration into the NLOS-LS launcher and course corrected bullet and gun integration Notional Battle Element and Concept of Operation Program Objective Develop & flight-demonstrate prototype hardware in support of system concepts, bridging the gap between initial C-RAM and the objective EAADS capabilities and providing mobile, 360 degree hemispherical extended area protection against RAM threats

8 KE Active Protection System (KEAPS) Guided Interceptor

9 Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper Components Support to Strike Mission Area Dismounted organic capability for precise NLOS engagement to defeat enemy personnel in advantageous or fleeting positions Disposable, confined space firing capability to defeat multiple targets (light armor, urban structures, bunkers) Close combat missile capability (man-portable and platformmounted) to defeat heavy armor, personnel, and fortified structures at extended ranges Defeating fleeting personnel and light-skinned vehicles in complex terrain while minimizing collateral damage Precision targeting in a range of environmental/battlefield conditions at maximum standoff ranges in the face of growing air defense threats Future lightweight munitions to support UAS operations

10 Close Combat Networking of Weapons and Sensors (CCNWS) Provide Close Combat Weapon Systems a direct digital link to the tactical network (nonexistent today), enabling networked weapon/target pairing at CO and below Hosted mission SW applications with JVMF: self/entity reports, cue-totarget, call for fire, images CLU Network Interface Card (NIC) to support required interfaces (including to PTG data link) and host netted mission applications Current/Future Force interoperability with SINCGARS (TOW only) and SRW Small form factor strap-on FTL for CLU with improved accuracy at range FY10 cooperative engagement demo with netted ITAS and CLU Increased lethality, survivability, and situational awareness

11 Summary Missile S&T responding to emerging environment Upgrades/enhancements to existing systems Remain effective against evolving threat Expand current capabilities to engage full spectrum of battlefield targets Balanced efforts across AMCOM LCMC mission areas Protection/survivability major drivers of advanced technology efforts AMRDEC s Focus Ensure Technology Readiness S&T to support future Programs of Record Trade studies for future systems to meet evolving environment

12 Army Materiel Enterprise A necessary cultural shift - viewing research, acquisition, logistics & technology through an enterprise lens a holistic view of the entire process & lifecycle Scope & Scale The combined materiel enterprise of AMC & ASA(ALT), with a combined budget of over $81B, would rank in the top 25 of Fortune 100 companies. Sheer scale demands efficiency. GEN Ann Dunwoody U.S. Army Materiel Command Despite these unprecedented challenges, the way forward is clear: The surest path to necessary Army transformation is the adoption of a comprehensive enterprise approach. Toward Institutional Adaptation Rethinking long-held assumptions and taking a series of steps (a) adapting the reset model, (b) fully embracing the enterprise approach, (c) developing an Army-wide strategic management system refined governance process improved assessment architecture Benefits Enable better planning, increase speed, essential integration and a greater awareness of our capabilities from concept to combat Tenants - Alignment of acquisition, logistics & tech w/ enterprise vision Tightening Business Practices strategic goals & cost culture Creating an Environment of Collaboration (Govt, Industry, Academia)
