US Army Seeking New Loitering, Precision-Guided Missile
Joe Saballa January 25, 2022
The US Army is seeking a new loitering and precision-guided missile capable of neutralizing enemy forces and assets without compromising the safety of warfighters.
The US Army Contracting Command recently issued a sources sought notice for the Lethal Miniature Aerial Missile System (LMAMS), which must either automatically lock on stationary and moving targets or be manually controlled by an operator.
The components of the LMAMS platform must include an all-up-round missile with sensors, guidance, data link, and launch capabilities. It must also include a fire control unit that provides real-time projectile video and control during day and night operations.
Additionally, the weapon system must be designed to provide operators with the capability to select targets using geolocation data, and loiter, abort, arm/disarm, or manually command warhead detonation.
