Missile Defense System M&S
Abstract
Missile Defense System M&S includes Core M&S development and sustainment of Frameworks, Core Truth Models, and Simulations and tools. M&S Frameworks: Develop and implement OSF upgrades to incorporate advanced tracking, discrimination, engagement and associated upper tier debris mitigation capabilities, as well as other requirements and capabilities to meet MDA's evolving M&S Enterprise needs. Includes: - Perform testing and integration of Core Truth Model capabilities into the OSF framework - Develop, sustain and enhance framework, other M&S tools, and products to maintain capabilities to support stakeholders and to keep pace with evolving requirements to support testing venues - Develop plans, procedures and documentation for scheduled events including wargames and Combatant Command Exercises and the Distributed, Focused and Integrated ground test events as presented in the IMTP; provide event architecture integration and checkout of wargames - Perform regular maintenance and critical repairs of hardware and software - Maintain the M&S Integration and Development Laboratories for Element models and simulations; maintain venue for stakeholders to conduct early M&S integration efforts to identify and resolve issues Core Truth Models: Provide consistent and common Phenomenology, Lethality, Environment, Communications, and Threat models for Missile Defense Subsystem development and M&S venues utilized in test events and wargaming exercises. Includes: - Implement next generation truth representations for signatures and lethality to address advanced Missile Defense System capability needs for tracking, discrimination and engagement - Maintain legacy truth representations (e.g., Parametric Endoatmospheric-Exoatmospheric Lethality Simulation, Kinetic Intercept Debris Distribution and Optical Signatures Code/Optical Signature Inline Generator) until fully transitioned - Support integration of all applicable CTM functions into the OSF framework - Deliver CTM Toolkit for integrated truth representations across the M&S enterprise - Produce and deliver high quality, credible, and cost-effective Threat Data Products (Integrated Threat Packages) - Deliver updated vehicle characteristics during flight utilizing mature production processes - Produce IR Hardbody data for Ballistic Missile Defense System OPIR Architecture - Provide validation and verification evidence for RF and IR signature models to support accreditation decisions M&S Simulations and Tools: Develop and sustain MDA M&S tools to support Missile Defense performance assessments, Warfighter events, engineering studies/analyses, and International Simulation events. Includes: - Deliver integrated architecture instantiations of the Missile Defense System to support Performance Assessments and integration of new capabilities into the Operational Capability Baseline - Integrate, test, and verify the M&S enterprise supporting System-level testing, assessment, exercises, and wargaming, including testing infrastructure - Integrate, test, functionally qualify, and deliver M&S tools and complex test architectures to provide system test capabilities to support MDA IMTP based test events, wargames, and exercises - Provide simulation capability for System and Element M&S development laboratories - Provide Event Integration Support for non-MDA Missile Defense component and weapon system models for M&S, threat, and Element developmental integration activities - Provide M&S benchmarking/integration, documentation and coordination; sustain, integrate and execute ground tests, and exercises/wargames - Provide communications emulation (Multicast TADIL-J, Satellite TADIL-J, and Link-16) and network analysis support via the Tactical Communications Environment Segment for M&S, threat, and Element developmental integration activities - Perform operational planning for planned Missile Defense System assessment events - Provide digital representations of Missile Defense System elements/components for wargames, conceptual planning, visualizations, training/orientation, M&S demonstrations, and the Warfighter's Modification & Fielding Requirements List for exercises and training - Implement MDASim architecture requirements and emerging capability requirements to adapt to growing distributed event requirements - Sustain the MDST and related tools to pace fielded OPIR Architectures in support of Warfighter training and exercise events, and Element development engineering - Provide software operations/maintenance support to the Extended Air Defense Simulation for use in Warfighter exercises, training venues, and Combatant Command planning tools - Provide, maintain, and operate a secure M&S execution infrastructure for digital system simulations - Upgrade models and develop new designs or software as required to support System simulations - Provide threat representations (trajectories, radar cross sections, and signatures data) for use in real-world events, simulations, exercises, wargames, and test and evaluation activities across the Department of Defense - Develop products that meet digital and HWIL requirements and allow M&S participation across multiple intended uses - Update and provide new M&S capabilities to support development of new Missile Defense System assets
