Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment
Abstract
The Terminal Defense Program Element includes the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) development program, Cyber Operations, THAAD System Test, support of PATRIOT (Phased Array Tracking Radar Intercept Of Target) Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) participation in Missile Defense Agency (MDA) activities, and Program Wide Support (PWS). THAAD provides the only air transportable, fast reaction 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 Fort Bliss, Texas for initial fielding and training. THAAD has completed the development of the THAAD 1.0 configuration and is developing the THAAD Build 2.0 capability. Continued development and integration will provide for enhanced debris mitigation, improved interoperability with other Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) elements, and development of training devices to support the THAAD Institutional Training Base. Cyber Operations sustains Missile Defense Agency (MDA) DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Program (DIACAP) and Controls Validation Testing (CVT) activities, analysis of validation results, risk assessments and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Assurance Manager (PM/IAM) Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for MDA Command and Control Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) mission systems and supports THAAD certification to operate in the BMD System. THAAD System Test conducts Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Flight Tests and Ground Tests with other BMDS elements (including BMDS Command Control / Battle Management and Communication, PATRIOT and Aegis) in accordance with BMDS Integrated Master Test Plan. THAAD System Test coordinates with Operational Test Agencies, conducts flight test operations, performs post-flight test reporting, and performs data distribution and data storage at Pacific Missile Range Facility and the Reagan Test Site. PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) is a U.S. Army short range BMDS that interfaces with the BMDS. MDA funds PATRIOT participation in BMDS interoperability integration efforts. 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).
