BMD Enabling Programs

Abstract

The Missile Defense System (MDS) Enabling Programs provide critical products and processes needed to combine element missile defense capabilities into a single, integrated and layered System to counter existing threats and provide new defensive capabilities against emerging threats. Specifically, the Enabling Programs: - Assess architecture alternatives and new technologies to address advanced threats, define MDS functional requirements, conduct Analyses of Alternatives (AoA) for the DoD, and provide engineering requirements, execution support, and pre- and post-mission analysis for System-level tests - Provide System-level engineering required to develop and demonstrate Cruise Missile Defense of the Homeland - Provide validated models and simulations for System assessment - Assess and document System performance (through data collection and analysis) and deliver capabilities to the Warfighter - Provide multi-disciplinary security and intelligence support for acquisition, development, test, and deployment of current and future MDS capabilities - Identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to MDA and the MDS and develop and implement strategies to mitigate those risks - Provide Information Management tools and products supporting the development of MDS 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 MDS threat discrimination capability development to enhance MDS effectiveness against the evolving adversary threat. The end result will be an MDS architecture more capable of identifying and destroying reentry vehicles with a higher degree of confidence, improving Warfighter shot doctrine, and more efficiently using interceptor inventory. MDS 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.

Document Details

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2022
• Source ID: 0603890C_4_0400_PB_2022
• Change Summary Explanation: FY 2020 does not include the enacted rescission of $2.031 million to BMD Enabling. Increase in FY 2021 provides Congressional adds for architecture reactive target simulation development, cruise missile defense for homeland indications and warning, and a portion of the undistributed Congressional add to restore DWR Missile Defense Agency manpower reduction. Increase in FY 2022 provides for Cruise Missile Defense engineering, Layered Homeland Defense engineering, System-level engineering support for the Ground-based Midcourse Defense Next Generation Interceptor, and Information Technology improvements.
