The Army has called upon S&T to focus on maturing technology, reducing program risk, developing prototypes that can be used to better define requirements and conducting

experimentation with Soldiers to refine new operational concepts.

AMRDEC-MI Focus

STRATEGY IS TO SUPPORT DOD STRATEGIC GUIDANCE ANDMAINTAIN CORE COMPETENCIES IN WEAPON ENABLERS FOR THE FUTURE

• AMRDEC Missile POM 17-21 investments are heavily focused in support of Air Defense and Precision Long Range Fires.

• Must maintain core competencies in weapon enablers component technology development.

• Must maintain minimal investment to support leap ahead technology investments in Aviation weapons and Ground Tactical technology transitions.

Enhancing the Army’s capacity to overwhelm the challenges of A2/AD

through relentless joint and combined arms maneuver to defeat emerging

regional and global peer adversaries.

Limited capacity of air defense systems to counter the potential overmatch of near-peer adversaries.

“Our perceived inability to achieve a power projection over-match, or an over-match in operations, clearly undermine, we think, our ability to deter potential adversaries. And we simply cannot allow that to happen.”-- Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work, Third

U.S. Offset Strategy, January 2015

Limited capability to sense, engage, and destroy RAM, TBM, cruise missiles, and aerial threats throughout 360 degrees.

“The sophistication of new maneuverable re-entry vehicles (MARVs) would require missile defenses that can strike attacking missiles during the boost phase of a ballistic flight.” -- AFCEA Signal Magazine, June 2014

Limited detection and engagement ranges to defend against UASs.

"Just a few years ago, we were critseriously behind in this area [UAS]. As of today, I think we have almost caught up.”… Russia had reached the level of top world armies in drone manufacturing.”

-- Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yury Boriso, January 2015

“To prevent enemy overmatch, the Army must develop new capabilities while anticipating enemy efforts to emulate or disrupt those capabilities.” -- Army Operating Concept
