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 (PAA) 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, an EPAA 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 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 majority of the European continent. Aegis Ashore is a key component of Phases II and III in the European PAA and will provide Aegis Ballistic 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. Aegis Ashore will provide sophisticated engagement strategies and can adapt to threat updates while also being deployed/redeployed worldwide where 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. MDA will use procurement funds to purchase and install AAMDS in Poland (0208866C MD73). Missile Defense Agency (MDA) approved the acquisition strategy in FY 2010. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
