Reagan Test Site (RTS) T&E Investments

Abstract

This activity funds improvement and modernization (I&M) for the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (RTS). Funds modernization of the radar, telemetry, optics, range safety, communications, command/control and other equipment essential to meet test and evaluation requirements of the Services and DoD agencies. Without modernization these instrumentation systems face obsolescence or degraded capability. The RTS instrumentation is required to support data collection for test & 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). Funding will enable RTS to continue to meet customer objectives and sustain the required instrumentation suite.
