Target Support
Abstract
BMDS Target Program Support consists of two sub-elements. These are Systems Engineering/Program Management and Logistics. System engineering/program management provides target program technical direction to meet program requirements while balancing cost, schedule, performance, and risk. It conducts functional requirements allocation to product lines, defines product line specifications/interfaces, and follows guidelines for design reviews. It performs target system analysis to verify system performance, defines target program baselines, controls flight test configurations, and conducts pre and post-flight analysis. It identifies treaty and environmental issues and develops plans for issue resolution. It also includes Single Stimulation Framework (SSF)/Objective Stimulation Framework (OSF) compatible Modeling and Simulation execution and improvements to evolve TC Modeling and Simulation capability; trajectory analyses; signature analyses and characterization; studies to assess alternative target and platform solutions; assessments of risk and mission assurance; and design approval of government furnished equipment. BMDS Targets Program logistics support provides the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) with target storage, aging surveillance, and transportation of TC hardware in support of BMDS testing. Also included are integrated logistics support for facilities, inventory maintenance, spare parts, aging surveillance, disposal, special testing for rocket motor propellants, and other hazardous material handling. This task manages and oversees accountability of all government furnished equipment and contractor acquired property. Logistics also provides common support equipment for launch vehicles, Modified Ballistic Re-Entry Vehicles, associated objects, and all up integrated target rounds. It also supports launch site activations through the transportation of support equipment to various test sites.
