AEGIS SM-3 Block IIA Co-Development
Abstract
The Aegis BMD mission is to deliver an enduring, operationally effective and supportable BMD capability to defend the nation, deployed forces, friends and allies and to increase this capability by delivering evolutionary improvements as part of BMDS upgrades. Aegis BMD provides a forward-deployable, mobile capability to detect and track ballistic missiles of all ranges, and the ability to destroy Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM), Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBM), and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM) in the midcourse phase of flight. Upgrades to both the Aegis BMD Weapon System and the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) configuration enable Aegis BMD to provide effective, supportable defensive capability against longer range, more sophisticated threats and an enduring Aegis Ashore defensive capability. Beginning in 2006, Aegis BMD and the Japanese Ministry of Defense (JMOD) have undertaken an SM-3 Cooperative Development (SCD) Project. The objective of the SCD project is the development and initial at-sea flight test of the SM-3 Block IIA missile. The U.S. and Japan will bear equitable burden to complete the project, as documented in the U.S./Japan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) SCD Annex. Each nation will fund the full extent of its participation in the project. No funds are transferred between the U.S. and Japan under the MOU. The SM-3 Block IIA provides important improvements over SM-3 Block IB capability, including increased velocity and range provided by a 21-inch diameter rocket motor propulsion stack, and more than doubled seeker sensitivity and more than tripled divert capability incorporated in an advanced kinetic warhead. New component technologies include, but are not limited to: lightweight nosecone, advanced kinetic warhead, 21-inch second stage rocket motor, and 21-inch third stage rocket motor. The effort includes risk reduction for key components and supports EPAA Phase III. Working with the Services' Operational Test Agencies (OTA) and with the support of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), MDA developed a test program to improve confidence in missile defense capabilities under development and ensure the capabilities transferred to the War-fighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable. 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.
