Improved Homeland Defense (HLD) Interceptors
Abstract
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) provides combatant commanders with a continuously available (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) capability to defend the Homeland against limited Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) attacks. The improved Homeland Defense interceptor includes a Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV), an improved booster (C3), and All Up Round (AUR) engineering necessary to integrate the RKV with new and existing booster configurations. The RKV improves interceptor reliability, reduces unit cost, improves maintainability in the field, and improves performance against emerging threats. The C3 booster improves survivability against lightning and threat environments. AUR engineering enables an initial operational capability of RKV integration with existing C1 and C2 boosters and flight testing. When C3 development completes, AUR engineering enables full operational capability of RKV integration with the C3 booster. FY 2017 MISSILE DEFEAT ENHANCEMENTS REPROGRAMMING (FY2017-26 PA): +$8.000M was required to address emergency warfighting readiness requirements to ensure readiness of the BMDS. +$8.000M Project MD97 Improved HD Interceptors: required to accelerate Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) efforts to support 20 additional GBIs in a new missile field (Missile Field #4) to defeat developing threats in terms of number of threat missiles and complexity of threat payloads. This is a base budget requirement. FY 2018 MISSILE DEFEAT AND DEFENSE ENHANCEMENTS (MDDE) BUDGET AMENDMENT: +$170.900M is required to address emergency warfighting readiness requirements to ensure readiness of the BMDS. +$75.000M Project MD97 Improved HD Interceptors: required to accelerate Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) efforts to support 20 additional GBIs in a new missile field (Missile Field #4) to defeat developing threats in terms of number of threat missiles and complexity of threat payloads. This is a base budget requirement. +$95.900M Project MD97 Improved HD Interceptors: required for risk reduction for 20 additional GBIs, including addition of a non-intercept target for CTV-03 in FY2020 and acceleration of software builds prior to critical design review.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Increase from PB18 to PB19 in FY 2019 due to addition of RKV risk reduction activities to include adding a non-intercept target for CTV-03 in FY2020 and acceleration of software builds and component qualification prior to CTV-03. FY 2017 MISSILE DEFEAT ENHANCEMENTS REPROGRAMMING (FY2017-26 PA): +$8.000 million was required to address emergency warfighting requirements in support accelerate Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) efforts to support 20 additional GBIs in a new missile field (Missile Field #4) to defeat developing threats in terms of number of threat missiles and complexity of threat payloads. This is a base budget requirement.
