The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System, or JLENS (colloquially, Spy Balloon), [1] was a tethered aerial detection system designed to track boats, ground vehicles, [2] cruise missiles, manned and unmanned aircraft (airborne early warning and control), and other threats [specify].
During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union experimented further with the concept, of deploying early cruise missiles from land, submarines, and aircraft. The main outcome of the United States Navy submarine missile project was the SSM-N-8 Regulus missile, based upon the V-1 but powered by an Allison J33 jet engine.
In September 2020, a joint cruise-missile-defense exercise demonstrated AI-based kill chains formulated in seconds. One of the kills was by a kinetic projectile fired by a tracked howitzer based on the M109. [45] [46] [47] From 2009 and 2020, the Army spent $2.7 billion on the program. [43] [48]
The Common Platform Upgrade modifies the prime mover for the rotating antenna to a common Army platform, which allows the sensor to receive commands from the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) network. The Adjunct Sensor upgrade improves countermeasure protection and threat detection by using a separate S-Band antenna.
The Japanese government is negotiating with the US government to purchase US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles for attacking enemy bases and counterattack purposes. [98] The Japanese government decided to purchase the Tomahawk cruise missile before their domestic improved range "Type 12 surface-to-ship missile" start full-scale operation. [99]
In air and missile defense (AMD), the Integrated Air-and-Missile Defense system (IAMD) is a United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) research program to augment the aging surface-to-air missile defense systems and to provide the United States Army with a low-cost, but effective complement to kinetic energy solutions to take out air threats.
Lockheed Martin's AGM-158C Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile played a prominent role in a Chinese wargame. In September 2024, an F-35 flew with two LRASMs on its external pylons during flight testing.
The Avenger Air Defense System, designated AN/TWQ-1 under the Joint Electronics Type Designation System, is an American self-propelled surface-to-air missile system which provides mobile, short-range air defense protection for ground units against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters.
