AEGIS BMD
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, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) in early phase of flight and shorter range missile in terminal phase. Aegis BMD also provides a Long Range Surveillance and Track (LRS&T) capability to the BMDS. Upgrades to both the Aegis BMD Weapon System and the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) configuration enable Aegis BMD to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. Aegis BMD provides/will provide several capabilities in support of the objective to defend allies and deployed forces from intermediate threats: Aegis BMD 4.0: -Aegis BMD 4.0 and the SM-3 Block IB missile improve Aegis BMD`s ability to engage longer range, more sophisticated ballistic missiles that may deploy countermeasures and are launched in larger raid sizes. Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) sensor improvements include the AN/SPY-1 radar`s signal processor and the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB kinetic warhead`s (KW) two-color infra-red (IR) seeker. The Aegis BMD Signal Processor provides a real-time discrimination and characterization capability. The two-color seeker with an Advanced Signal Processor improves sensitivity for longer range targets, high speed processing for multiple targets and improved performance against more sophisticated threats. Besides the two-color IR seeker, the SM-3 Block IB Kinetic Warhead (KW) divert engine system has been upgraded over the SM-3 Block IA. The new divert engine, the Throttleable Divert and Attitude Control System (TDACS), provides more flexible divert to maneuver the Kill Vehicle (KV) to intercept. MDA anticipates Aegis BMD 4.0 to be assessed as operationally suitable and effective the 4th quarter of FY 2013. Deploying FY 2014: -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 in the BMD mission; supports the BMDS Integrated Build D; and provides the basis for Aegis Ashore. Deploying in the Future: -Aegis BMD 5.0. Capability upgrade (CU) - Enhances Aegis BMD 5.0 by restoring the terminal defense layer, increasing raid size and expanding the threat set by FY 2015. -Aegis BMD computer program baseline and missile system modifications necessary to place Aegis BMD capability on land (Aegis Ashore) will take place by FY 2014. -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 to a 21-inch diameter SM-3 missile (SM-3 Block IIA). Missile development will be covered under the SCD project prior to the SM-3 Block IIA incorporation into the Aegis BMD 5.1 upgrade to the Aegis BMD system. The design will be completed by FY 2018; Initial Production by FY 2018; and production by FY 2020. -Aegis BMD 5.1- Integrates the SM-3 Block IIA missile and future missiles. It will provide an improved terminal defense capability in an Open Architecture (OA) environment. The SM-3 Block IIA missile will expand available battlespace and include Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) and selected longer-range threats, and when combined with additional weapon system modifications, will enable an Engage-on-Remote (EoR) capability. SM-3 Block IIA and Aegis BMD 5.1 will further extend Aegis BMDs range capability by capitalizing on globally-deployed BMDS sensor assets. The certification and deployment will take place by FY 2018. BMD Systems Engineering: Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Systems Engineering integrates element development and Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) work to optimize the capability of the BMDS. 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 analysis supporting concept definition studies, to high-fidelity models used to support engineering development, or testing and are integrated into the BMD Digital Simulations Architecture. Proving Missile Defense: Working with the Services` Operational Test Agencies (OTA), with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), Missile Defense Agency (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, and suitable. As part of the Agency`s rigorous test program, System Pre-Flight predictions provide confidence in test execution by predicting element performance and exercising element interfaces. System Post Flight Reconstruction replicates the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) configuration and actual environmental conditions and target dynamics observed in flight to anchor modeling and simulation results. Testing includes SM-3 intercept using Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS) as a remote sensor. The Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed to ensure adequate data is collected to support Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) for Missile Defense Modeling and Simulation (M&S). MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management costs in support of the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
