Aegis BMD Test
Abstract
The Sea-Based Weapon Systems 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 upgrades. The Sea-Based Weapon Systems element of the Missile Defense System capitalizes upon and evolves from the existing U.S. Navy AWS and SM infrastructures. Sea-Based Weapon Systems provides a forward-deployable, mobile capability to detect and track Ballistic Missiles of all ranges, and the ability to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles, Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles, and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles in the midcourse phase of flight, and shorter range missiles in the terminal phase of flight. Sea-Based Weapon Systems also provides a Long Range Surveillance and Track capability to the Missile Defense System. Upgrades to both the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Weapon System and the SM-3 configuration enable Sea-Based Weapon Systems to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. This Program Element works with all U.S. Armed Services that participate in the Missile Defense System level Operational Test Agency 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 Missile Defense System 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.
