Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment
Abstract
The Terminal Defense programs provide vital forward-deployable capabilities to support Regional defensive operations. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (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. Delivery and fielding schedule for all future batteries is detailed in THAAD Procurement Budget Exhibit. 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 enhanced debris mitigation capability, improved interoperability with other BMDS elements, and training devices to support the THAAD Institutional Training Base. In FY 2016, MDA began a risk reduction effort to explore and to mature the design concept, validate the threat assessment, and develop a life cycle cost estimate for the proposed THAAD Follow On program. The program seeks to extend the THAAD interceptor's range to expand battlespace and defended area, increase THAAD's interoperability with other air and missile defense systems via the Army Integrated Battle Command System, and incorporate threat upgrades to keep pace with adversary advances. MDA will evaluate the technical merits of these future capability improvements and assess the proposed program's affordability before deciding whether to proceed with the full Follow-On THAAD program. Cyber Operations sustain MDA Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Program (DIACAP) and Controls Validation Testing (CVT) activities; analysis of validation results, risk assessments; reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Assurance Manager Plans of Action and Milestones for MDA Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) mission systems; and supports THAAD certification to operate in the BMDS. Cyber Operations include non-recurring requirements from FY 2015 to FY 2017 to transition all THAAD information systems from DIACAP to DoD directed Risk Management Framework. PAC-3 is a short range U.S. Army system capability that interfaces with the BMDS. These funds ensure PAC-3 participation in BMDS interoperability integration efforts. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2017 reduction is primarily due to the transfer of funding to support deployed THAAD software to the Operations and Maintenance request. Additional factors include the shift of software development initiation efforts such as Message Based Regional Engagement Command and Regional Peer to Peer Engagement Coordination to align with demonstration in Flight Test THAAD-19 (FTT-19) and realignment of funding to higher Department of Defense priorities.
