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) provides data required for the Technical Capability Declaration for EPAA Phase III Robust Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) Defense, Enhanced Homeland Defense, and Mid-term discrimination improvements. It also supports Operational Test and Evaluation of the regional and strategic BMDS architecture that will be fielded at the end of Calendar Year 2018 (CY 2018). The Sensors test program (FY 2019-2021) will support Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) integration into BMDS, GMD Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) developmental testing, Mid- and Far-term discrimination improvements, and 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).
