Ballistic Missile Defense Joint Warfighter Support

Abstract

The Joint Warfighter Support Program (JWSP) is MDA's primary means for providing direct technical support to Combatant Commands (CCMDs), the Military Services and the Joint Staff on Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) development, testing, and operational support. It enables delivery of BMDS capabilities to Warfighters and ensures their participation in the identification and development of new Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities via the Warfighter Involvement Process (WIP). The JWSP allows the Warfighter and MDA to work together to identify gaps, seams, and needs in war fighting capability and enhance BMDS attributes by submitting modification and fielding requests. It also provides 24/7 BMD operational support to Warfighters worldwide. The program enables rapid response to Warfighter Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Analyses (RFAs), which are especially critical to mission success in protecting U.S. forces and other defended assets during "Real World" threat events. The program supports improving products delivered to Warfighters through technical reviews and technical analyses supporting development of shot doctrine. The JWSP also enables the inclusion of both CCMD and MDA BMD objectives in CCMD/Joint Staff-sponsored wargames and exercises, which are used to sharpen and enhance joint BMD warfighting skills. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
