Description

Mission Advanced Threat Detection System (ATDS)

The Missile Warning System Modernization (MWSM) budget line includes funding to support the development and integration of improved Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) products onto current US Army Aviation platforms as well as Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and future platforms. The ITDS (Improved Threat Detection System) will detect, classify, cue, and declare on existing and emerging Electro-Optical/Infra-red (EO/IR) Guided Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG)/ unguided rockets, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), Ballistic munitions, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and Lasers. ITDS will provide missile threat handoff to the appropriate countermeasure system (Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) and/or expendable countermeasure). ITDS will explore opportunities to improve the expendable countermeasure system. ITDS will use an incremental approach to align with PM ASE's System of Systems approach, align both agnostic detect and defeat capabilities, implement a modular open system architecture, integrate to the FLRAA digital backbone, improve full coverage against evolving threats in hostile environments, support counter UAS, and incorporate multi-function sensor suite to support other aircraft enabling technologies. Additional key attributes include: Geo-location of threats, Support Degraded Visual Environment and Navigation, Multiple Threat Detection, Declaration for Simultaneous Warning. Justification: No FY 2026 funding request.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 17 of 1741 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying Mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
