Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment Test
Abstract
Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment Test provides flight and ground testing of Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) functionality to demonstrate Enhanced Homeland Defense capabilities against long-range threats. The GMD components are tested in an integrated environment with Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) sensors; Command & Control, Battle Management, Communications (C2BMC); Warfighters; and national collection assets to assess the ability to defend the United States and its territories against ballistic missile attack.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Increase from PB 2018 to PB 2019 in FY 2019 reflects Integrated Master Test Plan changes to include a new concept of Ground Testing (Continuous Development, Continuous Integration and Continuous Agile Testing (CIT/CAT)) which requires additional requirements of Test Planning, Test Integration, Test Execution and Analysis. Test activities that were previously performed sequentially will now be performed in parallel to reduce the test cycle time, with periods of 3 lab based activities simultaneously. These new sequential test flows will require additional test teams, off shift work to de-conflict assets and network infrastructure, and additional data packages and test reviews. Changes also include additional requirements of Test Planning, Test Integration, Test Execution and Analysis for new Cyber Security testing events. Using a new developmental crawl, walk, run Cyber test approach for each future GS build will require earlier and additional installation and checkout (2 to 3 early engineering releases and Pre-Formal Qualification releases) of the GS family of products in the labs to support earlier learning, feedback to the product development team, and final evaluation of cyber capability prior to operational cyber testing. Increased number of Target of Opportunity test events based on measured data due to the additional activity of real world events. In preparation for FTG-11 and CTV-03 additional test range telemetry and data collection upgrades are planned for Vandenberg Air Force Base, Pacific Missile Range Facility, and Point Mugu. PB19 reflects approved out year Missile Defeat and Defense Enhancement (MDDE) tails.
