Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment Test

Abstract

Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment Test provides the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program with an enhanced test program that includes expanding our flight and ground test programs to demonstrate our Initial Homeland Defense and Enhanced Homeland Defense capabilities against long-range threats. The GMD elements of the BMDS Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) are intended to demonstrate the integrated missile defense capabilities under development and ensure the capabilities delivered to the Warfighter are operationally effective, suitable, and survivable. MT08 Midcourse Test consists of three accomplishment areas; Resources, Flight Test Execution, and Ground Test Execution. Resources consist of the support and framework required to successfully conduct both flight and ground testing. Flight Test Execution and Ground Test Execution accomplishments consist of the execution of the individual tests. 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).
