Several studies and reports over the past ten years have discussed the need for a low cost interceptor for use in air defense against low tech air breathing threats. The Low Cost Interceptor (LCI) program that Miltec Missiles and Space Company has managed for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command's Office of Technical Integration and Interoperability since April 2001 was implemented to address that need. The LCI program has developed several interceptor concepts and designs and has tested many of the components and subsystems that will go into the interceptor. This paper discusses some of those subsystems and benefits that LCI has realized to date.
