Next Generation Aegis Missile (Standard Missile-3 Block IIB (SM-3 IIB))

Abstract

The Standard Missile-3 Block IIB (SM-3 IIB) is the key element to expanding the battle space by adding an additional layer to our homeland defense against Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM). The goals of the program are to develop an operational, hit-to-kill missile fielded in the 2020 timeframe to counter first generation ICBMs targeted at the US homeland early in their flight. It will serve as the first tier of the layered defense of the U.S. Homeland. The SM-3 Block IIB missile will also provide a large defended area against regional, intermediate range ballistic missiles. Early intercept capability provides the benefit of forcing an adversary to release countermeasures earlier than optimum directly affecting their ability to initiate the deployment of penetration aids or submunitions. The SM-3 Block IIB will be integrated into the Aegis BMD 5.1 Weapon System using Engage on Remote, leveraging the BMD distributed Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) network. Another goal is to reduce technical and programmatic risk by developing and testing key component technologies that increase the speed of the missile and provide flexible energy management to engage targeted ballistic missiles early in their trajectory. MDA will also conduct a competition to select the industry team that will execute the product development in FY 2014. Contributions to Combatant Commanders Prioritized Capabilities List include: Engage a threat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Engage a threat Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) Engage a threat Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) MD40 consists of Program-Wide Support (PWS) non-headquarters management costs in support of MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).

• Change Summary Explanation: FY 2012 decrease reflects a total congressional reduction (Consolidated Appropriation Act of FY 2012 (Public Law 112-74)) of -$110.013M which includes a congressional general reduction of -$0.013M; a congressional directed reduction of -$30.000M; and a congressional directed transfer of -$80.000M. ($30M to the Aegis BMD Program Element (0603892C) for SM-3 Block IB production improvements and $50M to the Aegis SM-3 Block IIA Co-Development Program Element (0604881C) for risk reduction and program adjustments. FY 2013 decrease reflects an adjustment to the start of product development from the beginning of FY 2013 to FY 2014. The FY 2013 reduction of -$209.039 reflects a realignment of Department of Defense priorities.
