Abstract：Addressing emerging threats on future land battlefields, including the increasing spread of low-altitude threats, a rapidly growing number of environmental disturbances, and ineffectiveness of defense systems, the US Army is accelerating the development of battlefield air defense equipment. The development focuses on systematization, networking, and intelligence, aiming to build a multi-layered, flexible, and joint air and missile defense system spanning all domains, to adapt to the complex battlefield environments in the future. This article reviewed the current state of the US Army's front air defense system and equipment, analyzed the main challenges they face, and offered a trend analysis of the system architecture, force grouping, system capabilities, and equipment forms of their future front air defense systems. This study provides insights and a reference for the development of our domestic army's air and missile defense equipment.
