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 Missile Defense System (MDS) upgrades. The Aegis element of the BMDS capitalizes upon and evolves from the existing U.S. 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 in addition to shorter range missiles in the terminal phase of flight. Aegis BMD also provides a Long Range Surveillance and Track (LRS&T) capability to the MDS. Upgrades to both the Aegis Weapon System and the SM-3 configuration provides effective and supportable defensive capability against longer range more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. - Working with all U.S. Armed Services that participate in the BMDS level Operational Test Agency (OTA) Team, with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), 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 MDA'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 BMDS configuration, actual environmental conditions, and target dynamics observed in flight to anchor Modeling and Simulation (M&S) results. - The IMTP is event-oriented and extends until the collection of all identified data is completed ensuring adequate test investments.
