Program Planning and Operations
Abstract
The BMDS Test program is responsible for the following Program Planning and Operational activities: - Develop, update, coordinate and deliver the IMTP, which is coordinated with MDA and External stakeholders (Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E); the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test and Evaluation (DASD(DT&E)); the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense (JFCC-IMD); and the Operational Test Agency (OTA)), and provide an affordable and executable test plan to meet Warfighter needs and National Security commitments. - Coordinate the IMTP Special Access Programs (SAP) Annex with respect to changes to SAP Program Test Baseline and synchronize with the collateral IMTP. - Serve as the MDA Test Interface/Liaison with the DOT&E to; the DASD(DT&E); JFCC-IMD; and the BMDS OTA. - Provide BMDS OTA System Team funding for personnel support of system level testing and conduct cybersecurity assessments of BMDS. - Plan, coordinate and execute cyber security testing of the BMDS. - Execute Flight Test Design Analysis ensuring test designs are safe and sufficient to meet test objectives. - Execute ground test planning activities supporting MDA test requirements and priorities to include test design, test integration, digital assessment, and international testing. - Update and maintain the classified Test Resource Mission Planning-Tool (Classified), TRMP-T(C) database. - Manage the approved test baseline by assessing all proposed changes to the BMDS Test Schedule and Test Configurations for each BMDS test event identified in the IMTP. - Support the Developmental Baseline Reviews and the annual BMDS Accountability Reviews to assess baseline execution risk and verify BMDS components are consistent with the approved test baseline. - Establish authority and maintain configuration control of the test baseline. - Review BMDS component programs' content on a quarterly basis to ensure consistency with the approved IMTP. - Serve as a voting member of the Failure Review, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) board to establish requirements for identifying, tracking, reporting, modifying, and closing BMDS Discrepancy Reports (BDRs). - Provide strategic technical planning support for the Test and Evaluation Standing Committee (TESC). - Provide the BMDS Test program director analytical capability for Flight and Ground test planning to include: test design feasibility assessments; flight safety, telemetry link margin, collision avoidance, pre- and post-test trajectory and truth sensor analysis; and Signatures Working Group activities. - Support Integration Synchronization Group (ISG) and the Program Change Board (PCB), establish authority and maintain configuration control of the test baseline via the Test Baseline Working Group. - Develop and maintain integrated test tools to support Truth Data Requirements Documents, Truth Data Packages, on-site Truth Quick-Look product development, pre- and post-test analysis test planning, and resource de-confliction; Integrated Data Management Plans (IDMPs), Data Handling Plans (DHPs), Information Assurance (IA) documentation, data planning and management, library operations, deployment process; infrastructure requirements process; and test operations support. - Manage the Missile Defense Data Center (MDDC) Program and its library, operations, and infrastructure providing centralized data management, archival, and distribution services. - Utilize the Program Integration Center for analytical needs in support of Flight and Ground Test Activities. - Provide analytical capability for Flight and Ground test planning to include: test design feasibility assessments, truth data and sensor analysis, truth data requirements documentation and data packages; flight safety analysis and flight safety data packages; and telemetry link margin, collision avoidance, and pre- and post-test trajectory analyses. - Chair a working group to define Flight Test pre-mission analysis input products/models and Post Intercept Debris (PID) scenes for new targets. - Develop, maintain, and integrate test tools to support pre- and post-test flight analysis and ground test design/analysis, truth data, and on-site Truth Quick-Look product development. - Coordinate budget planning and execution activities as well as manpower activities. - Maintain professional excellence and a diverse and professional workforce.
