1993 Report to Congress on the Theater Missile Defense Initiative (TMDI).
Abstract
Section 231 of the National Defense Act For Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484) directed establishment of a Theater Missile Defense Initiative (TMDI) office within the Department of Defense (DoD) to carry out all DoD theater and tactical missile defense activities. The Act also requested an updated master plan for the TMDI that includes.....'a detailed consideration of plans for theater and tactical missile defense doctrine, training, tactics and force structure, and a detailed acquisition strategy which includes a consideration of acquisition and life cycle costs through the year 2005 for programs, projects and activities associated with TMDI.' This report is the updated master plan which presents the background, guidance, and rationale for the acquisition strategy and Architecture being developed under the TMDI. Since TMDI is, with the exception of PATRIOT, in the very early stages of definition and acquisition with doctrine and requirements not yet finalized and validated, it is premature to address subjects such as training, tactics, force structure, and life cycle costs in this report. As information on these subjects becomes available, it will be included in annual updates of this master plan.
