Vessel Operations and Support
Abstract
The SBX is in a test and operations support status, supporting Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) ground and flight testing while maintaining the ability to be recalled to an active, operational status when indications and warnings indicate need for enhanced discrimination. SBX will be located in a Pacific port when not required to be at sea. SBX will maintain vessel certifications for operations at sea and software compatibility with the BMDS, ready for recall to active operational status. This project provides for developmental operations and support of the SBX Radar and its four major sub-systems: the self-propelled vessel; the X-Band Radar (XBR); the In-Flight Interceptor Communications System Data Terminal; and the communications network. Developmental operations and support activities include operation and sustainment of the vessel, developmental operation and sustainment of the XBR, limited XBR software support and vessel and shoreside security.
