Aegis BMD 4.x Development
Abstract
Aegis Baseline 5.4.0 (BMD 4.1.2) incorporates the BMD 5.0 Capability Upgrade (CU) of European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) Phase II ENDO/EXO requirements including EPAA Phase II Exo-atmospheric threats, integration of the SM-3 Block IB TU, and reintroduction of other Aegis capabilities integrated with the SM-6 Dual I (Endo only). It provides Aegis Modernization capabilities comparable to the BMD 4.0 ships with legacy computer processing architecture. Aegis Baseline 5.4.1 (BMD 4.2) baseline development takes advantage of refurbished and upgraded AN/SPY-1 radar arrays with LNAs by increasing BMD capabilities with improved radar sensitivity, discrimination, threat upgrades, and more efficient radar resource utilization. Recurring Accomplishments: - Update Critical Item Development (CIDS), Interface Description Specifications (IDS) and all supporting engineering documents and plans - Conduct design studies and concepts supporting development and integration - Conduct Aegis BMD performance analysis supporting In-Process Reviews (IPR) - Participate in program leadership and technical forums including Program Management Team, System Engineering Team, and Cross Product Teams for Integration and Test, M&S, Test, Evaluation & Certification, and Fleet Integration and Design - Provide Weapon System updates to include MIL-SPEC UYK-43, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) BMD Signal Processor, and COTS adjunct processor updates - MDA/Navy co-funded effort to provide BMD capability on Flight I/II DDGs Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
