Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment

Abstract

The Terminal Defense PE includes the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) development program, support of PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) participation in Missile Defense Agency activities, and Program Wide Support. The THAAD element provides the only air transportable, fast reacting capability for the warfighter to provide area coverage against Short and Medium Range Ballistic Missiles within four hours of arrival. The THAAD element includes five major components: Interceptors, Launchers, Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance - Type 2 (AN/TPY-2) Radars, THAAD Fire Control and Communication (TFCC), and THAAD-Peculiar Support Equipment. THAAD delivered Battery #1 in FY 2009 and Battery #2 in FY 2010 to the U.S. Army at Ft. Bliss, TX for initial fielding and training. PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC 3) is an U.S. Army short range Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) that interfaces with the BMDS. MDA funds PATRIOT participation in BMDS interoperability integration efforts. THAAD has completed the development of the THAAD 1.0 configuration and will develop the THAAD Build 2.0 capability. Continued development and integration will provide for enhanced debris mitigation and interoperability with other BMDS elements. Testing with other BMDS elements (including BMDS Command Control / Battle Management and Communication (C2BMC), PATRIOT and Aegis) will demonstrate integrated mission execution and provides flexibility to rapidly augment the stationary BMDS assets in the global Phased Adaptive Approach. Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management costs in support of MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.
