Ballistic Missile Defense Technology

Abstract

The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Technology Program Element develops future Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) capabilities to out-pace emerging and evolving threats. Advanced Technology is the program execution arm of MDA's Architecture and Engineering thrusts. Advanced Technology identifies, develops, and readies for transition in association with the Chief Architect and the Director of Engineering the technical solutions that meet BMDS shortfalls identified by the Combatant Commanders. Advanced technology maintains a robust modeling and simulation environment to ensure emerging technology, cost-effectively increases performance when inserted into the BMDS architecture. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management costs in support of the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). MD40 PWS transfers to the new Technology Program Elements, 0603176C, 0603177C, 0603178C, 0603179C, 0603180C beginning in FY 2015.
