Hypersonic Defense
Abstract
This program element supports a focused program that includes executing the systems engineering process, full kill chain technology identification and maturation, providing analysis and assessment of target of opportunity events, and executing near term sensor and command and control capability upgrades to address defense from hypersonic threats, which pose a significant threat. The Hypersonic Defense effort will develop and deliver a series of material solutions to defeat hypersonic threats informed by a set of near term technology demonstrations. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) continues to assess architecture alternatives and provide recommendations for future BMDS configurations to keep pace with evolving threats. MDA will leverage and upgrade existing systems, pursue hypersonic threat defeat weapon system capabilities, and develop disruptive technologies that augment future hypersonic defense architectures. These integrated sets of enhancements will provide incremental capabilities measured by progress and knowledge points in the following areas: - Systems Engineering (Architecture Analysis, technology prioritization, requirements development, integration planning, test planning & assessment and lethality) - Modification of existing Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) sensors and Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) element for hypersonic threats - Hypersonic Defense Weapon Systems Technology Development to enable a broad set of solutions including kinetic and non-kinetic means - Advanced development of Sensor and C2 Technology to include ground, airborne and space-based technologies, to inform the development strategy
