Ballistic Missile Defense Targets

Abstract

The Missile Defense System Targets Program provides centrally managed targets and countermeasures development and procurement for a cost effective, integrated system-level approach to Missile Defense System testing. Based on engineering assessments of threat intelligence data, the Missile Defense System Targets Program develops, builds, and supports the launch of SRBM (Less than 1000 Kilometer range) targets, Medium Range Ballistic Missile (1000-3000 Kilometer Range) targets, Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (3000-5500 Kilometer Range) targets, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (Greater than 5500 Kilometer range) targets, and Multi-Class Components to test, verify, and validate the performance of the Missile Defense System against threats. The Missile Defense System Targets Program provides an economical and reliable inventory of targets, which are representative of feasible future threats and supports demonstration of the capability of the evolving layered Missile Defense System in a simultaneous test and operations threat environment.
