Land Based SM-3 (LBSM3)
Abstract
This program supports the development of a land based Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) capability, hereafter referred to as Aegis Ashore. On 17 September 2009, the President announced an overarching plan to provide regional missile defense to U.S. deployed forces, allies and partners in Europe called the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). The United States will also pursue phased adaptive approaches in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East by building on current efforts. The PAA envisions tailoring U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities to specific theater needs to enhance integrated regional missile defenses to protect defended assets against medium, intermediate, and ultimately intercontinental range ballistic missiles. Within this policy, a European PAA specifically addresses a timeline to deploy a mix of afloat and land-based BMD capabilities. Aegis Ashore represents one of these land-based capabilities. Phase I of EPAA (completed December 2011): Focuses on the protection against short and medium-range ballistic missiles. As part of phase I, which has been completed, the United States has deployed multi-mission Aegis ships with BMD capability and the SM-3 Block IA missile. Phase I also included establishing separate forward-based transportable surveillance radar (AN/TPY-2)in Turkey to provide a cue to multi-mission Aegis ships with BMD capability and to future Aegis Ashore sites for launch on remote engagements. Phase II of EPAA (2015): Deploys the first land-based BMD configuration (Aegis Ashore) in Romania, and deploys the SM-3 Block IB on land at the Aegis Ashore site and at sea on multi-mission Aegis ships with BMD capability. Phase III of EPAA (2018): Deploys a second land based Aegis Ashore in Poland, and introduces an upgraded Standard Missile, the SM-3 Block IIA. This missile brings improved coverage against medium and intermediate range ballistic threats, and extends coverage to the bulk of the European continent. Aegis Ashore is a key component of Phases II and III in the European PAA and will provide Aegis Missile Defense capability against short and medium range ballistic missiles in an ashore configuration. It will be similar to the Aegis At-Sea BMD capability inherent in the DDG-113 series of the Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers to facilitate training and logistical support by the lead service, Navy. Aegis Ashore essentially re-hosts the required BMD components of a Navy Destroyer in an ashore configuration to include SPY radar, Vertical Launch System, computing infrastructure, Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, and operator consoles. It will provide sophisticated engagement strategies. Aegis Ashore can adapt to the threat and can be deployed/redeployed worldwide to areas needed to provide persistent coverage for the Geographic Combatant Commanders. The initial Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) will be deployed to Romania in FY 2015. A second AAMDS will be deployed to Poland in FY 2018 as part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) approved the acquisition strategy in FY 2010. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management costs in support of the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
