Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment

Abstract

The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Terminal Defense Segment provides vital forward-deployable capabilities to support Regional defensive BMD operations. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system provides Combatant Commanders a globally-transportable, rapidly-deployable capability to intercept and destroy short-range, medium-range, and limited intermediate-range ballistic missile threats inside or outside the atmosphere during terminal phase of flight. 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. This Program Element also investigates concepts and performs systems engineering to address emerging threats. FY 2018 MISSILE DEFEAT AND DEFENSE ENHANCEMENTS (MDDE) BUDGET AMENDMENT: +$62.100 Million is required to address emergency warfighting readiness requirements. +$62.100 Million Project MD07 THAAD: required to fund Phase 1, 2 and 3 efforts in the THAAD portion of USFK JEON to deliver enhanced capabilities against specific USFK threats as well expanded engagement options and increased coverage area.

• Change Summary Explanation: The FY 2017 reduction of ($4.663) for transfer to SBIR/STTR requirements. The FY 2017 decrease of ($2.238M) is due to the Cybersecurity Operations improvement activities for BMDS readiness not addressed in the RFAA 2017. FY 2018 MISSILE DEFEAT AND DEFENSE ENHANCEMENTS (MDDE) BUDGET AMENDMENT: +$62.100M is required to address emergency warfighting readiness requirements. The increase of $19.845M in FY 2019 from PB 2018 to PB 2019 is due to additional USFK JEON funding provided for Phases 1-3, offset by reductions due to elimination of THAAD Follow-on requirements. PB19 reflects approved out year Missile Defeat and Defense Enhancement (MDDE) tails.
