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 flight and ground testing of GMD functionality to demonstrate 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 four accomplishment areas: Resources, Flight Test Execution, Ground Test Execution, and Program Operations. 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. Program Operations provides for government management of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Test program. 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.
