Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC)

Abstract

The Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) is the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) field operating activity in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It provides necessary infrastructure and support services through a mission execution platform for MDA elements/components and designated Combatant Commanders' Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) operations executing missions at the MDIOC. The Integration Center is the organization responsible for providing a single, integrated set of skilled personnel matrixed from across MDA to manage this mission. The MDIOC mission facilities consist of a highly secure research and development complex and a mission support module (area) located at Schriever Air Force Base, adjacent to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). The MDA Integration Center provides mission critical system technical capabilities and subject matter expertise in a dedicated and adaptable environment that enables developers, testers, and operators to evolve, assess and deliver the capabilities for layered missile defense execution for homeland defense and theater/regional support. The MDIOC interfaces with the Information Technology/Information Assurance Enterprise to provide high availability access to worldwide secure communications, network health and status monitoring, mission critical restoral capability, and technical expertise for all MDA directed activities and events. The MDIOC functions as the mission control for BMDS distributed ground tests and system wide flight tests enabling the mission and test directors to control both main and associated test operations using secure voice, test, and mission network hubs from the MDIOC. The MDIOC also functions as the only system-level integration and interoperability mission execution platform for BMDS fire control; and it provides the physical interface between the developers and the Combatant Command warfighters. MDIOC mission facilities contribute to the BMDS by directly supporting the concept of Concurrent Test, Training, and Operations (CTTO) for the BMDS by providing engineering integration, resource scheduling, configuration management, and implementation development support for MDA and BMDS-level test, training, and operational mission execution. MDIOC Major Program Goals: -Provide the capabilities and services necessary to support engineering integration, resource scheduling for ground and flight tests, configuration management, and implementation development support of on-site activities -Ensure around the clock support and restoral of designated BMDS operational activities -Improve interface with designated Combatant Command missile defense activities; host/support the headquarters and operations center for the United States Strategic Command Joint Functional Component Command - Integrated Missile Defense -Maintain and improve the reliability, availability, and maintainability of MDIOC mission critical systems
