Advanced Research

Abstract

Advanced Research conducts leading edge research and development to create and enable future missile defense capability. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) executes this mission by capitalizing on the creativity and innovation of the brightest minds in our Nation's universities and small businesses, collaborative research partnerships between allied country academic institutions, and innovative ideas from industry. This includes a focus on facilitating the transition of technology to the Ballistic Missile Defense System through a Commercialization and Transition Office and the execution of the Rapid Innovation Fund Program. Advanced Research identifies priorities and balances the research portfolio in collaboration with the Agency's Chief Engineer and an Agency-wide executive level Research Council. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
