Diagram of layered defence concept

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Air and missile defense capabilities are being developed that will create a tiered, layered defense.

Layer 1: The Ballistic Low Altitude Drone Engagement is used with the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station to shoot down unmanned aerial systems.

Layer 2: The Multi-Mission High Energy Laser, a laser weapon system integrated onto a combat platform, can engage and destroy incoming munitions and drones.

Layer 3 and 4: Maneuver Air Defense Technology interceptor technologies are designed for integration into the Maneuver – Short-Range Air Defense platform to enable a greater level of protection by hitting larger aircraft at increased ranges. Eventually the missile interceptor technologies will operate with next-generation fires radar technology via the network.

Layer 5: The High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demonstrator will protect sites from rockets, artillery and mortars, and unmanned aerial systems.

Layer 6: Low-Cost Extended Range Air Defense missile interceptor technology will defeat subsonic cruise missiles and lethal unmanned aerial systems, leaving the advanced Patriot interceptors for the more stressing threats.
