BMD Enabling Programs

Abstract

The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Enabling Programs provide critical products and processes needed to combine element missile defense systems into a single, integrated and layered BMDS to provide new defensive capabilities and evaluate existing capabilities against the emerging threats. Specifically, the Enabling Programs: - Define BMDS architectures and functional requirements, conduct Analyses of Alternatives (AoA) for the DoD, and provide engineering requirements, execution support, and pre- and post-mission analysis for BMD System tests - Provide validated models and simulations for BMD System assessment - Assess BMDS performance (through data collection and analysis) and deliver capabilities to the Warfighter - Provide multi-disciplinary security and intelligence support for BMDS acquisition, development, test, and deployment - Identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to MDA and the BMDS and develop and implement strategies to mitigate those risks - Assess architecture alternatives to address advanced threats and provide recommendations for future BMDS configurations to keep pace with evolving threats - Provide Information Management tools and products supporting the development of BMDS capabilities while safeguarding networks and critical program information - Provide MDA secure communication networks, IT systems, special purpose processing nodes, operations and monitoring centers, and disaster recovery and continuity of operations requirements - Evaluate quality, technical safeguards, and mission assurance effectiveness - Assess System ability to maintain integrity and superiority with advances in technology development This Program Element also funds BMDS threat discrimination development to enhance BMDS effectiveness against the evolving adversary threat. The end result will be a BMDS architecture more capable of discriminating and destroying reentry vehicles with a higher degree of confidence, improving Warfighter shot doctrine, and more efficiently using interceptor inventory. BMDS threat discrimination development is funded from the Enabling (0603890C), Midcourse (0603882C), BMD Sensors (0603884C), BMD Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) (0603896C), and Aegis BMD (0603892C) PEs.

Change Summary Explanation
Increase in FY 2018 from PB19 to PB20 reflects the Omnibus Above Threshold Reprogramming for advanced threat systems engineering and cybersecurity, and the following congressional adjustments: - decrease of $10.000 million for development activities in support of an organic Aegis Ashore Defense capability. - increase of $6.000 million for additional modeling and simulation capabilities for the all-digital M&S representation of the BMDS. - increase of $23.342 million for improved discrimination capabilities. - increase of $1.900 million to repeat flight test FTM-29 (FTM-45). - increase of $25.000 million for additional cyber training requirements and cyber defense enhancements to counter emerging threats. Increase in FY 2019 from PB19 to PB20 reflects the following congressional adjustments: - decrease of $6.600 million for modeling and simulations. - decrease of $4.200 million for cyber operations. - increase of $34.100 million for systems engineering improvements. - increase of $4.000 million for discrimination improvements. - increase of $16.200 million for cyber assessments of Defense Industrial Base. - increase of $40.000 million for cyber security enhancements. Increase in FY 2020 from PB19 to PB20 provides emerging Department of Defense priorities, including execution of a continuous integration and agile ground testing capability; modeling and simulation enhancements for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) and end-to-end digital simulation to provide significantly more data for BMD System Assessment and give Warfighters confidence in BMDS performance; and additional enhancements to cybersecurity.
