BMD AEGIS
Abstract
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (Aegis BMD) mission is to deliver an enduring, operationally effective and supportable Ballistic Missile Defense capability to defend the nation, deployed forces, friends and allies, and to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) upgrades. The Aegis BMD element of the BMDS capitalizes upon and evolves from the existing U.S. Navy Aegis Weapons System (AWS) and Standard Missile (SM) infrastructures. Aegis BMD provides a forward-deployable, mobile capability to detect and track Ballistic Missiles of all ranges, and the ability to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM), Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBM), and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM) in the midcourse phase of flight. In support of Homeland Defense, Aegis BMD provides a Long Range Surveillance and Track (LRS&T) capability to the BMDS. Upgrades to both the Aegis BMD Weapon System and the SM-3 configuration enable Aegis BMD to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, more complex threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. In support of the objective to defend allies and deployed forces from short- to medium-range threats in one region or theater, Aegis BMD provides/will provide several capabilities: - Current - Aegis BMD 3.6.1: Delivers an engagement capability with an SM-3 Block IA against SRBM and MRBM class threats. Delivers a Near Term Sea Based Terminal (NTSBT) capability against SRBM with a modified SM-2 Block IV. Delivers an LRS&T capability against ballistic missile threats of all ranges. Aegis BMD 3.6.1 will demonstrate launch on remote operations in FY 2011 and will have the ability to receive live fire information from the Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS) to support fire control operations. - Near Term - Aegis BMD 4.0.1 - Improves the Weapon System capability to identify and classify Ballistic Missile threat objects by introducing the Aegis BMD Signal Processor (BSP); improves BMDS Battle Management Command, Control, Communication and Computer Intelligence (BMC4I) performance; upgrades missile downlinks for improved kill assessment; increases battlespace through Launch on Remote, Aegis to Aegis engagement coordination, and automated planning data exchange with the Command, Control Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Planner and Maritime Integrated Air and Missile Defense Planning System (MIPS). - SM-3 Blk IB - Improves missile capability to identify and target the threat object through All Reflective Optics (ARO), Advanced Signal Processor (ASP), and two-color missile seeker; improves missile kinetic warhead (KW) kinematic performance via the Throttleable Divert Attitude Control System (TDACS). - Aegis BMD 5.0 - Integrates Aegis BMD 4.0.1 capability into the Navy-developed Open Architecture (OA) computing environment. This change is necessary for Aegis BMD to remain compatible with Navy as ship modernization plans are executed. Improves human-systems interface through display enhancements; eliminates the need for a separate computing system specific to the BMD mission; enables more ships to serve as candidates for the BMD mission; supports the BMDS Integrated Build D; and provides the basis for Aegis Ashore. - Aegis BMD 5.0.1 - Enhances Aegis BMD 5.0 by restoring the terminal defense layer, increasing raid size and expanding the threat set. - Aegis BMD computer program baseline and missile system modifications necessary to place Aegis BMD capability on land (Aegis Ashore). - Far Term - SM-3 Block IIA - Aegis BMD and the Japan Ministry of Defense (JMOD) have undertaken an SM-3 Cooperative Development (SCD) program, which consists of a spiral upgrade of the SM-3 Blk IB missile to a 21-inch diameter SM-3 missile (SM-3 Blk IIA). Missile development will be covered under the SCD project prior to the SM-3 Blk IIA incorporation into the Aegis BMD 5.1 upgrade to the Aegis BMD system. By Congressional direction, this content transfers to PE 0604881C, SM-3 Block IIA Co-Development, in FY10. - Aegis BMD 5.1 - Integrates the SM-3 Blk IIA missile with an improved terminal defense capability and Open Architecture (OA) environment. The addition of the SM-3 Blk IIA missile will expand available battlespace to include IRBM and selected longer-range threats, and when combined with additional weapon system modifications, will enable an Engage-on-Remote (EoR) capability. That capability will further extend Aegis BMD by capitalizing on globally-deployed BMDS sensor assets. With the addition of the SM-3 Blk IIB, expands the threat set to include some Inter-continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). - Ship integration support for SM-3 Blk IIB development. BMD Systems Engineering: BMD Systems Engineering provides System Description Document and System Specifications for elements to design, build, integrate and test BMDS components. These products optimize performance at the system level and further ensure that the assessment of the designed BMD System is based on sufficient ground and flight testing. Aegis BMD compliance with BMD System level requirements (integrated Builds B, C and D) is monitored in a series of requirements and design reviews both at the system and element levels. Aegis BMD system engineers adapted this data to input into validated and a accredited 6-Degree of Freedom (DOF) system models. The Missile Defense Agency evolves Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) capabilities in versions known as ``Builds.`` Each Build allocates functional requirements to the BMDS subsystems (e.g., Aegis BMD) to achieve the system-level integration needed for flexible, efficient, and effective ballistic missile defense. Common Threat Engineering: Common threat engineering produces common and consistent adversary trajectory and signature data to enable BMD System and sub-system concept and requirements, design, verification, and assessment. Common Threat data is contained in the MDA Adversary Capability Document (ACD) and Adversary Data Packages (ADP) and drives BMDS ground tests, flight tests, digital simulations, and pre-mission analysis activities. It is also used to develop the BMD System Description Document and BMD System Specification. Modeling & Simulation: Aegis BMD has validated and accredited 6-DOF system models that support element level system engineering. These models provided input to the larger set of BMDS level models. Modeling and simulation (M&S) activities support all phases of Aegis BMD`s development, including development of Aegis Weapon System (AWS) and SM-3 variants, flight test missions, ground tests, war games, exercises, and performance assessment. Models and simulations are tailored to the specific need of a component in its current phase of development, ranging from low-to-medium fidelity analyses supporting concept definition studies, to high-fidelity models used to support engineering development, or testing and are integrated into the BMD Digital Simulations Architecture. Digital simulations support Performance Assessment (PA) and Technical Assessment (TA) events, which provide critical system level performance data relative to all elements, the system engineer, M&S developers, Operational Test Agencies (OTA) and Warfighter. Further, the M&S Digital tools are accredited for each application and for specific objectives; tools are put through a rigorous verification and validation process, reviewing coding and specifications, and comparing analyses against actual flight test results. Planning support is required to assist in the Verification and Validation (V&V) plan development, test execution, analysis for V&V reports and Program Office M&S Certification. The Digital End-to-End simulation of the BMDS requires a PA Integrated V&V Plan and Report (both element and system level), a PA/TA-system level Accreditation Plan and Report, and support to PA/TA Non-MDA Elements. BMDS Hardware In The Loop (HWIL) is used to proof out the construct of the flight test to ensure if the required data and data management plan will support System Post Flight Reconstruction (SPFR) objectives. SPFR will use a HWIL and/or a Digital M&S Environment to replicate the day of flight for the BMDS configuration, modified to represent the actual environmental conditions and target dynamics observed in flight. The results of this testing are used to increase confidence in the models and simulations by anchoring the M&S results with emphasis on the critical engagement conditions (CECs) and empirical measurement events (EMEs) collected in test events. SPFR is used for validation (anchoring) of models and simulations. Proving Missile Defense: Working with the Services` Operational Test Agencies (OTA), with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), MDA has developed a test program to improve confidence in missile defense capabilities under development and ensure the capabilities transferred to the war fighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable. The BMDS performance evaluation strategy is to develop models and simulations of the BMDS and compare their predictions to empirical data collected through comprehensive flight and ground testing to validate their accuracy, rather than physically testing all possible combinations of BMDS configurations, engagement conditions, and target phenomena. The BMDS test review determined how to validate our models and simulations so that our war fighting commanders have confidence in the predicted performance of the BMDS, especially when those commanders consider employing the BMDS in ways other than originally planned or against threats unknown at this time. The test plan review resulted in a Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) that is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed to ensure adequate test investments. The bottom line is that MDA is focused on conducting meaningful ballistic missile testing that rigorously demonstrates the capabilities of the BMDS. FY12 budget request recognizes that historical execution rates will result in FY11 funds available to support in FY12. The accomplishments reflect the use of FY11 funding in addition to the FY12 request.
