Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment
Abstract
The GMD is an Element of the Missile Defense System that provides combatant commands, including U.S. Northern Command, with a continuously available (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year) capability to defend the Homeland against limited Intercontinental Ballistic Missile attacks. The GMD Element contributes to the Missile Defense System by acquiring, developing, demonstrating, deploying, and sustaining a midcourse weapon system for Homeland Ballistic Missile defense including: currently-deployed GMD capability; integration of the Next Generation Interceptor; improving Warfighter capabilities; and GMD SLEP to improve Warfighter confidence and utilization of the GMD Weapon System. The GMD capability consists of the Ground Based Interceptor, GFC, GMD Communication Network (GCN), IDT, and Ground Launch Support Systems (LSS). Each Ground Based Interceptor delivers a single kill vehicle to defeat threat warheads in space during the midcourse phase of the ballistic trajectory. The GFC consists of fire control nodes in Fort Greely, Alaska (FGA) and Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center, Colorado Springs, Colorado. IDTs are currently located in FGA; Vandenberg Space Force Base, California (VSFB); Eareckson Air Station, Alaska; and Fort Drum, New York. LSS are currently located in FGA and VSFB. The GMD capability leverages integration of Missile Defense System sensors across the globe. GMD development program objectives include improve homeland defensive capability against an advancing threat that is increasing both in number of missiles and complexity; execute flight testing; modernize the GMD weapon system to enhance capability and increase reliability; provide fire control and communications; reliability testing of the current fleet; develop Ground Based Interceptor software enhancements and SLEP that improve reliability, capability, and discrimination; improve GMD Models and Simulations; and provide engineering support for participation in system tests with other Missile Defense System assets. The GMD Development Program also includes development of software and hardware to fully support the integration, testing and operational deployment of the Next Generation Interceptor and the Phased Array IDT.
