Hypersonic Defense
Abstract
This program element supports a focused program that includes executing the systems engineering process, 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 demonstrate advanced technologies for future capabilities to counter hypersonic threats. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) continues to assess architecture alternatives and provide recommendations for future Missile Defense System configurations to keep pace with evolving threats. MDA will leverage and upgrade existing systems, pursue hypersonic threat defeat weapon system capabilities, and develop 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) Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) element for hypersonic threats - Hypersonic Defense Weapon Systems and Component Technology Development to enable a broad set of solutions including kinetic and non-kinetic means for future implementation

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2020 increase reflects a Congressional add to accelerate Hypersonic Defense programs. This increase provides additional high risk component development and testing for the Glide Phase Defeat Weapon System, as well as additional Engineering Enablers, the leverage and upgrade of existing systems and partner flight test participation. The FY 2021 increase provides for development of Glide Phase Defeat technologies to inform a future weapon system architecture, and provides advancing development and analysis needed to integrate Aegis BMD Weapon System capabilities with a glide phase defeat weapon to address hypersonic threats.
