Kratos Supports Successful US Navy and MDA Intercept Test Against Multiple Ballistic Missile and Anti-Ship Cruise Missile Targets
27 Novembro 2023 - 10:00AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS),
a Technology Company in the Defense, National Security and Global
Markets, announced today that its Defense & Rocket Systems
business supported the successful intercept test of two Short-Range
Ballistic Missile (SRBM) targets, known as Aegis Readiness
Assessment Vehicle (ARAV) by two Standard Missile 3 Block IA (SM-3
Blk IA) interceptors during the test event Vigilant Wyvern, also
known as Flight Test Aegis Weapon System-48 (FTM-48). The
successful test demonstrated the capability of a ballistic missile
defense-configured Aegis ship to detect, track, engage and execute
intercepts of two SRBM targets while concurrently demonstrating an
Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) engagement of two subsonic anti-ship cruise
missile drone targets. This live-fire, raid scenario represented
one of the largest Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) events
ever conducted in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Area of
Responsibility and demonstrated for the first time a concurrent
Ballistic Missile Defense and Anti-Air Warfare raid.
The successful intercepts by the Arleigh
Burke-class destroyer USS CARL M. LEVIN (DDG 120) were the
highlight of the Vigilant Wyvern/FTM-48 event and the culmination
of a four-week campaign during which Kratos Rocket Systems
business, along with its government and industry partners,
integrated and launched the two SRBM targets from the Pacific
Missile Range Facility (PMRF) in Hawaii. Both ARAV target
systems, which have a long-standing, successful,
flight-demonstrated heritage on test and intercept missions for
the U.S. Navy and MDA, executed nominal trajectories
while meeting target requirements.
“Our team works side-by-side with our government
customers to deliver transformative and affordable target systems
and vehicles from mission inception through successful launch
operations. FTM-48, which was one of our largest recent
mission campaigns, is just the latest example of this successful
partnership,” said Dave Carter, President of Kratos Rocket
Systems Division. “Kratos’ affordable systems allow our customers
to cost effectively effect multi system raid scenarios like
Vigilant Wyvern, and we are grateful to be able to continue
supporting the U.S. DoD and its allies in this very
important mission area.”
The BQM is a sub-sonic aerial target, capable of
speeds greater than .09 Mach and minimum altitude of 6.6 feet, and
has no equal when it comes to delivering realistic anti-ship
missile threat emulation.
Kratos is a leading provider of products,
solutions, and services supporting ballistic missile defense for
Aegis Weapon System, hypersonic testing, atmospheric science
research and technology maturation.
