The Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate, Flight Vehicle Integration Branch (AFRL/MNAV) is interested in receiving white papers for the Dual Role Air Dominance Missile-Technology (DRADM-T) Program under this Special Amendment to the Armament Technology Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) MNK-BAA-06-0001, Research Area 1 ? Flight Vehicles Integration Research. The DRADM-T program is one part of a coordinated set of technology development programs being initiated by AFRL/MN to enable the capabilities envisioned under the Air Supremacy Integrating Concept (ASIC). The goal of the ASIC is to develop the technologies needed for a next-generation, dual-role munition capability to gain total control of the airspace, allowing friendly air assets to operate freely without fear of attack. This is being accomplished by focusing on the technical challenges of detecting, identifying, engaging, and defeating broad classes of airborne threats and a limited set of ground-based enemy air defenses before they have a similar opportunity. Targets for the ASIC include adversary fixed winged aircraft, rotorcraft, unmanned air vehicles, cruise missiles, and active air defense systems (Suppression Enemy Air Defense/Destruction Enemy Air Defense SEAD/DEAD). This IC supports Global Strike CONOPS (Anti-Access), Global Persistent Attack CONOPS and Homeland Security CONOPS by providing a single missile for use against extremely agile air targets and SEAD ground targets. This missile will provide a first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability, more precision, and an expanded target set for both within-visual-range and beyond-visual-range engagements. The challenge is to design a robust suite of technologies that will integrate into a low-cost solution.
