Abstract

This Program Element (PE) funds the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) development activities, and employment of global space and high-altitude (SHA) capabilities to the Army, joint force, allies and partners, to enable multi-domain combat effects; enhance deterrence, assurance, and detection of strategic attacks; and protect the Nation. The USASMDC is the warfighting function lead and Department of the Army force modernization proponent for integration of current and future SHA systems to enable Army forces on the battlefield. The USASMDC workforce supports the research and doctrine development from one of the USASMDC principal locations in Huntsville, AL; Colorado Springs, CO; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Employing cutting-edge technology and incorporating feedback from the warfighter, the command develops critical space and high-altitude capabilities to maintain overmatch of the nation's near-peer adversaries and to deter, deny and defeat any challenge. USASMDC/ARSTRAT: Headquarters, Department of the Army General Order 37, dated 16 October 2006, designated USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the Army proponent for space, the Army integrator for global missile defense (GMD), and the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) of the USSTRATCOM.

As the Army proponent for space and high altitude, USASMDC/ARSTRAT is responsible for developing 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, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) solutions.
