Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services Supports Successful Ballistic Missile Intercept Test During Pacific Dragon 22 Exercise
24 August 2022 - 11:45PM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS),
a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today
that its Defense & Rocket Support Services division supported
the successful intercept test of a short-range ballistic missile
(SRBM) target by a Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) Block IA during the
Pacific Dragon 22 exercise. Kratos along with Government and
industry partners integrated and launched the SRBM target known as
an Aegis Readiness Assessment Vehicle Type B (ARAV B) that was
successfully intercepted by USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) during the
exercise.
The two stage ARAV-B SRBM consists of a complex
payload mounted atop Kratos’ proven Oriole rocket motor and a
government surplus Terrier Mk-70 rocket motor. The target vehicle,
which has been flight-proven on both test and intercept missions
for the US Navy and the MDA for over 15 years, executed a nominal
trajectory and met all target requirements. In addition, the
mission marked the first flight of Kratos’ integrated inertial
measurement unit and flight computer suite, which also met all test
objectives.
Kratos is a leading provider of products,
solutions, and services supporting ballistic missile defense for
Aegis and AMDR, hypersonic testing, atmospheric science research
and technology maturation.
“In addition to providing reliable,
flight-proven ballistic missile target solutions to support the
DoD, the Kratos team is keenly focused on key investments which are
aimed at reducing the time and cost for DoD programs, including
hypersonics, to get to flight test,” said Dave Carter, President
for KDRSS. “Team Kratos is grateful for the opportunity to continue
supporting our warfighters.”
