INTELLIGENT SERVICES ARCHITECTURE FOR POINT DEFENSE 2942026
Summary
AI-generated · Apr 30, 2026Develop an adaptable, intelligence-enabled Point Defense architecture that can operate as a standalone system or be integrated with existing Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) architectures, delivering agnostic services that can be configured by area of responsibility, location, critical assets, expected threat picture, rules of engagement (ROEs), defense plan, and force protection requirements to counter Group 1-3 UAS. The solution should provide autonomy and automation to enable effective detection, decision-making, and engagement strategies.
Align the approach with Air Force Research Laboratory priorities, emphasizing autonomy, automation, and both non-kinetic and kinetic effects against small UAS, delivering a flexible, connected or standalone capability that supports ABAD and broader USAF Force Design Mission Areas.
Point Defense is rooted in the strategic priority of advancing Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) and Counter-UAS capabilities, directly supporting Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) and broader USAF Force Design Mission Areas. Addressing these advancements involves critical Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) technology priorities, including autonomy, automation, and both non-kinetic and kinetic effects against Group 1-3 UAS. The foundational military utility for Point Defense lies in delivering an adaptable, intelligent, autonomy-enabled, standalone or connected capability that integrates with existing ABAD architectures, providing agnostic services that can be configured based on the specific Area of Responsibility (AOR), location, critical assets, expected threat picture, Rules of Engagement (ROEs), defense plan and force protection requirements.
