Land Based SM-3 (LBSM3)
Abstract
This program supports development of the Land-Based Standard Missile-3 capability, 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 EPAA policy specifically defines a timeline to deploy a mix of afloat and land-based Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities. Aegis Ashore represents one of these land-based capabilities. Aegis Ashore is a key component of EPAA Phases II (Romania) and III (Poland) and provides Aegis BMD capability against short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles in an ashore configuration. Aegis Ashore provides sophisticated engagement strategies and can adapt to threat updates within each sites designated area of responsibility. Aegis Ashore re-hosts the required BMD components of a U.S. Navy Destroyer, including: SPY-1 radar; Vertical Launch System, Computing Infrastructure; Command and Control; Communications; Computers and Intelligence Systems; and Operator Consoles. Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex operates as a test asset that continues to inform Aegis Weapon System and Aegis Combat System developmental efforts, integration of hardware and software upgrades and modernization efforts, and analyzing real time anomalies experienced in testing and in operational scenarios.
