Integrated Master Test Plan
Abstract
This activity funds C2BMC participation in MDS flight and ground testing, wargames and exercises, and resources in accordance with the MDS IMTP. Recurring accomplishments include: Test Execution - Assess MDS interoperability, integration, and functionality in lab and distributed environments, leveraging a complex set of scenarios to test the limits of the C2BMC system. Participate in and analyze results of ground tests and flight tests in accordance with the MDS IMTP. Support all phases of the MDA Ground Test Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and the MDA Flight Test CONOPS. Provide Flight Test Predictive Analysis support. Generate, test, and distribute federated model compatible scenarios for Ground Test and Flight Test Experimentation test support. Use BMDS C2BMC Model (BCM) to support exercise integration testing activities including test case and scenario checkout. - Utilize the Enterprise Sensors Laboratory (ESL) to plan, coordinate, and provide test operations to demonstrate prototype algorithms through flight tests and United States-launched targets of opportunity. The development plans for algorithm improvements focus on track and measurement level sensor data fusion and feature extraction to improve 3-D track formation utilizing a variety of space, airborne, and terrestrial-based sensors. Results from the tests and experiments are provided back to the algorithms development activity to enable algorithm refinement. - Continue Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) node integration, testing, and training with new C2BMC Spiral 8.2-5 Homeland Defense baseline changes at the Missile Defense Integration and Operation Center (MDIOC). Retain Existing Sensor Data Interfaces and provide LRDR Data for Risk Reduction for Ground-Based Missile Defense (GMD); Initial Hypersonic Tracking and Reporting; and Cyber Security Enhancements Risk Management Functions. - Utilize the C2BMC Experimentation Laboratory (X-Lab) to plan, coordinate, and provide test operations to demonstrate maturing C2BMC technologies and software builds within an integrated C2BMC environment through flight tests, ground tests, and real-world targets of opportunity before incorporation into formal C2BMC spiral builds. Results from the tests are provided back to the C2BMC and X-Lab development activity. - Participate in wargames and exercises using current and future C2BMC architectures to support all requesting Combatant Commands, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners, and Host Nations allowing warfighters to validate Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP) specific to all designated Areas of Operations (AOs) to include current and future C2BMC architectures. - Continue development, sustainment, and upgrades in the C2BMC Testbed (CTB) to support MDA IMTP Events (flight and ground tests). Continue Cyber Testing in the CTB to support continuous C2BMC spiral development. Continue Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) testing, C2BMC, and NATO planning exchanges, demonstrations, and support to NATO live fire events. Maintain Situational Awareness Nodes (Turkey, Romania, and Poland) in accordance with U.S. and Host nation Bi-lateral Agreements. Continue to enhance interoperability between U.S. BMD systems and the NATO BMD systems. Provide infrastructure, network, and troubleshooting support to C2BMC Command Center (CCC), to include the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Network Operations and Security Center (BNOSC), System Test and Operations Center (STOC), C2BMC System Support Center (CSSC), BMDS Communications Network (BCN), the Distributed Training system (DTS), and Combined OPIR Laboratories (OCL). Specific and/or unique accomplishments for each FY are as follows:
