Battle Management and Advanced Guidance for Defense against Hypersonic Threats

Numerica proposes to leverage extensive expertise in advanced battle management algorithms, advanced guidance and control algorithms, hypersonic defense, and high-g missile threat modelling to develop a physics-based, real-time prototype battle management and advanced guidance algorithm that produces optimal launch scheduling and optimal guidance for mid-trajectory interception of hypersonic threats. An intelligent battle management component will support cooperative intercepts, optimal launch scheduling, and optimal interceptor to threat assignment. The system will be demonstrated in a robust modeling and simulation framework created by Numerica as part of this effort to support algorithm development, evaluation, and trade space analysis for the Phase II problem space. Numerica will identify federal programs of record and civilian use cases to which the technology (or components thereof) could be transitioned. Approved for Public Release | 22-MDA-11340 (16 Dec 22)
