Ballistic Missile Defense Sensor Test
Abstract
MDA Sensors executes a robust test program that includes flight and ground tests to support both strategic and regional BMDS capabilities against medium- and long-range threats. The Sensors elements of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) are intended to demonstrate the integrated missile defense capabilities under development to ensure the capabilities delivered to the Warfighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable. The Sensors Test Program Element specifically includes the planning, execution, and analysis of flight and ground tests and the associated infrastructure. The Sensors test program (FY 2016-2018) supports EPAA Phase III Robust Long Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) Defense, Enhanced Homeland Defense, Mid-term discrimination improvements and supports the IMTP for Operational Test and Evaluation of the regional and strategic BMDS architecture that will be fielded at the end of Calendar Year 2018 (CY 2018). Refer to R-4 for specific test events. The Sensors test program (FY 2019-2021) will support Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) integration into BMDS, GMD Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV), Far-term / Mid-term discrimination improvements and the IMTP for Operational Test and Evaluation of the theater/regional and strategic BMDS architecture that will be fielded at the end of Calendar Year 2021 (CY 2021). Refer to R-4 for specific test events. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.
