Aegis BMD Test
Abstract
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) mission is to deliver an enduring, operationally effective and supportable BMD capability to defend the nation, deployed forces, friends and allies, and to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) upgrades. The Aegis BMD element of the BMDS capitalizes upon and evolves from the existing United States Navy Aegis Weapons System (AWS) and Standard Missile (SM) infrastructures. Aegis BMD provides a forward-deployable, mobile capability to detect and track Ballistic Missiles of all ranges, and the ability to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBMs), Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBMs), and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBMs) in the midcourse phase of flight and shorter range missiles in the terminal phase of flight. Aegis BMD also provides a Long Range Surveillance and Track (LRS&T) capability to the BMDS. Upgrades to both the Aegis BMD Weapon System and the SM-3 missile configuration enable Aegis BMD to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. Proving Missile Defense: - Working with the Services' Operational Test Agencies (OTA), with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has developed a test program to improve confidence in missile defense capabilities under development and ensure the capabilities transferred to the warfighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable. - As part of the Agency's rigorous test program, System Pre-Flight predictions provide confidence in test execution by predicting element performance and exercising element interfaces. System Post-Flight Reconstruction replicates the Ballistic Missile Defense System configuration and actual environmental conditions and target dynamics observed in flight to anchor modeling and simulation models and results. - The Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed to ensure adequate test investments. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
