Aegis BMD Ground Test Execution

Abstract

Aegis BMD Ground Test (GT) Program performs comprehensive testing of Aegis BMD Components and their interoperability with the BMDS using accredited M&S that provides the evidence required for the MDA and Combatant Commanders to transition the capability to the Operational Capacity Baseline. More specifically, ground testing is used to collect data for Aegis BMD characterization and assessment, flight test risk reduction, and exploration of scenarios where flight testing is either impracticable or impossible. Recurring Accomplishments include: -Participate in BMD System GT to include pre-mission analysis, mission execution, and post-mission analysis. -Conduct planning to ensure Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC), BMDS Test Bed San Diego (BTS), and Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM-RMS) Computer Program Test Site (CPTS) capabilities support Aegis BMD testing, exercises, flight tests, and demonstration requirements. This includes upgrades to the ground testing labs to ensure compliance with operational and test baselines. -Continue testing of U.S. Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers Intelligence (C4I) Systems and Aegis BMD baselines to ensure BMDS interoperability. -Continue to participate in System Level Ground Testing as an element of the layered BMDS to collect data for Aegis BMD characterization and assessment and exploration of scenarios where flight testing is either impracticable or impossible. -Continue operation support of Hardware in the loop (HWIL) M&S for Element ground testing. -Aegis BMD HWIL lab participation align to the IMTP GT schedule and implementation of Future Ground Test Concept of Operations (CONOPS) pathfinders. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
