Army Missle Defense Systems Integration

Abstract

This Program Element funds missile defense systems integration efforts for both the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) and the Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space (PEO-MS). USASMDC/ARSTRAT: Headquarters, Department of the Army General Order 37, dated 16 October 2006, designated USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the Army proponent for space and ground-based midcourse defense (GMD), the Army integrator for global missile defense, and the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). Army Regulation (AR) 10-87 Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and Direct Reporting Units, dated 4 September 2007 and AR 5-22 The Army Force Modernization Proponent System dated 19 August 2009 designates USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the Army specified proponent for Global Missile Defense and Space/High Altitude capabilities. As the Army proponent for space, high altitude and GMD, USASMDC/ARSTRAT is responsible to develop warfighting concepts, conduct warfighting experiments to validate those concepts, identify capabilities needed to implement the validated concepts, and develop Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions to realize the GMD capabilities. As the Army integrator for global missile defense, USASMDC/ARSTRAT is responsible to review programs managed by the Army, other Services, Defense agencies and National agencies to ensure that they are correctly synchronized and will ultimately provide the capabilities required by USSTRATCOM to execute its global missile defense responsibilities. Project TR4 funds the USASMDC/ARSTRAT to execute its proponency role for Ground-Based Missile Defense, and its role as the integrator for global missile defense. In fiscal year 2011, this project will be rolled into program element 0603308A project 990 in recognition of the increasing interrelationship between space operations, exo-atmospheric ballistic missile defense and global missile defense. Project TR5 funds United States Army Space and Missile Command/ Army Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) efforts to develop, analyze and mature warfighting concepts, focus military science and technology research, and conduct warfighting experiments for Space, Missile Defense, and High Altitude. Additionally, this project funds the delivery of innovations to the warfighter through prototyping, operational analysis, and experimentation in support of current and future Forces. Project TR7 funds the Cruise Missile Defense Systems Project Office/ Program Executive Office Missiles and Space efforts to develop Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 - Intercept capabilities required to execute the US Army's objective Counter-Rockets, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) mission.
