Reagan Test Site (RTS) T&E Investments

Abstract

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This activity funds improvement and modernization (I&M) for the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (RTS). Funding upgrades and combats parts obsolescence of the radars, telemetry, optics, range safety, communications, command/control and other equipment essential to meet requirements of the Services and DoD agencies and are crucial for investment protection of the sensor suite. These upgrades are critical both to maintain a state of the art instrumentation suite and to the successful collection of data supporting test and evaluation assessments and operational decisions for the Army; Navy; Air Force; U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM); Missile Defense Agency (MDA); Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); and other customers. Reagan Test Site (RTS) located in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is a remote, secure activity of the Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB). Without the required I&M funding RTS will not be able to continue to meet customer objectives and sustain the required instrumentation suite.
