  Northrop Grumman ADM-160A / Raytheon ADM-160B/C MALD
In 1995, DARPA initiated the MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy) ACTD (Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration) program, and in November 1996, Teledyne Ryan (now Northrop Grumman) was awarded a development contract for the ADM-160A flight vehicle.
MALD's main mission payload is a Northrop Grumman SAS (Signature Augmentation Subsystem) with various active radar enhancers for a range of frequencies.
The MALI (Maniature Air-Launched Interceptor) was an armed derivative of MALD, for possible use against cruise missiles.

  ADM-160 MALD Information
The AMD-160 MALD is a decoy missile developed by the United States of America.
The Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD) program was begun in 1995 by DARPA as an effort to develop a small, low cost decoy missile for use in the suppression of enemy defences.
This idea was dropped after indecision about what form such a missile should take, but when interest in the MALD was renewed Raytheon was asked to develop further versions of the basic MALD.

 MALD
In late 2002, however, the USAF opened an industry-wide competition for further development and procurement of MALD, and all major American aerospace companies have expressed interest.
In May 2003, the award of an SDD contract to Raytheon was announced.
The USAF currently plans to procure up to 1500 ADM-160As, and start of full-scale production is tentatively planned for 2008.

ADM and other agribusiness companies can supply Asia with soybeans for products like tofu, and also feed grains to raise chicken and livestock.
ADM and other companies will be able to play an important role in expanding production of fuels developed from agricultural products like ethanol and bio-diesel.
To meet these new demands, Loebl explained that ADM’s operations in 60 countries extend from “From the farm gate to the dinner plate.” “We are not farmers — we process, transport, and store food,” she said.

 [6.0] Decoys
The Air Force decided that the MALD demonstrator didn't have the range or endurance to be the decoy the service wanted, and would not have been a good platform for other roles.
The Raytheon MALD will be powered by the Hamilton Sundstrand TJ-150 engine, an uprated derivative of the TJ-50 of the original demonstrator, and is expected to give the decoy a top speed of Mach 0.91 at 12,200 meters (40,000 feet).
MALD will initially be qualified on the B-52H and F-16, but will eventually be carried by all USAF strike-capable aircraft.

 ADM-160 MALD
The Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD) program was begun in 1995 by DARPA as an effort to develop a small, low cost decoy missile for use in the suppression of enemy defences.
On launch the wings unfold and a TJ-50 turbojet propels the missile on a pre-determined course which is composed of up to 256 different waypoints.
This idea was dropped after indecision about what form such a missile should take, but when interest in the MALD was renewed Raytheon was asked to develop further versions of the basic MALD.

The tests that were conducted at Eglin by the 49th Test Wing, consisted of nine sorties in which the ADM-160B was deployed from different pylons positions at varying speeds and altitudes.
Three of these tests had MALDs equipped with specialist measuring instruments and were all photographed by chase planes using on-board cameras.
The MALD is being developed at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.

MALD is being developed to provide US Air Force Air Combat Command, with the ability to achieve air superiority by confusing enemy air defense systems.
The MALD is equipped with a Signature Augmentation Subsystem (SAS) which provides increases the decoy's radar cross section across VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies to replicate a tactical fighter when viewed by enemy radar systems.
Affordability, a key performance parameter, was achieved through the use of conventional commercial-off-the-shelf components and processes such as a commercial, composite-sheet molding process used by the automobile industry, a computer processor similar to those used in soda dispensing machines, and a commercially available Global Positioning System unit.

 Defense Tech: "STEALTH IN REVERSE" FOR NEW DECOY DRONE
Instead of trying to evade radar like a stealth fighter or bomber does, the decoy — only 9½ feet long and weighing 200 pounds — will use electronic signals to project a larger-than-life image.
The Miniature Air Launched Decoy, of MALD, is intended to fool enemy radar operators into believing it is a real airplane, say engineers with the Air Armament Center at this Florida Panhandle base.
The ruse is designed to prompt an enemy response that may include turning on radars that guide anti-aircraft artillery and missiles.

The US Air Force is scheduled to pick a winning design for its Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) programme in May, following the submission of proposals by at least four different competitors.
Boeing has proposed a clean sheet design, 2.7m (8.9ft) long and 0.18m in diameter, with extendible wings and capable of flying for up to 45min at Mach 0.9.
MALD is intended to emulate the radar signature of both large Boeing B-52 bombers and the small Lockheed Martin F-16.

Earlier this year, MALD 07 candidate Rachel Schiller was awarded a grant from Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiations to travel to Indonesia (Aceh and Jakarta), Malaysia, Sweden and Finland for the summer in order to study the Aceh Peace Process.
These months were by no means Schiller’s first encounter with the peace process or region – she has worked in the area for the past five years, including a leave of absence from Fletcher in 2005 when she returned to Aceh following the 2004 tsunami.

So that the moment it goes wheels in well (or even upon detection of taxi from a hardened shelter farm), you can send it to score the 'dogfight' kill by attacking at co-Mach and superior energy loading.
The nice thing about this is that you have a missile which, even if it costs 1-2 million dollars each (MALDs initial estimate was for a 75,000 dollar production weapon) can saturate the threat airspace so that the enemy never gets up a head of steam sufficient to get away from their baselanes.
In this, I liken it to a pack of wolves constantly using hunting datalinks to cut off and hamstring any attempt by a manned jet to push out to a distance (now upwards of 55-60nm, even subsonically) from which the Western threat can release SDB.

There is even talk of using AESA radars for their jamming, surveillance, and potential net-centric communications value.
Meanwhile, this P-8 variant’s wing pylons would be able to carry various weapon payloads, including decoy missiles with standoff jamming devices or straight decoys/provocateurs like the ADM-141C ITALD, the Chukar, and/or the ADM-160 MALD.
Aviaton Week also notes that a disposable air-launched UAV is also in the works in order to quietly get very close to foes, especially the low-power, wireless communications networks favored by terrorists for both command and control and triggering explosives.
