Defense Acquisition Executive Summary (DAES) Report, THAAD System.

Abstract

Program Budget Decision (PBD) 224, issued 11 Dec 96, increased the THAAD program $722M (FY 98-03) to accelerate the First Unit Equipped milestone from FYO6 to FY04. This increase includes funding for additional UOES testing and the second EMD radar which are necessary for the acceleration of the program. The PBD 224, Change 3, moved procurement funding responsibility from BMDO to the Army. The first year of procurement funds is programmed for FYOl. Following the PBD 224 program increase, project office and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space (LMMS)/Raytheon personnel have been intensely reviewing the FUE FYO4 program structure to ensure the program can be executed at a moderate level of risk. Due to flight test 07 (FT-07) anomalies (as discussed under Significant Developments), preliminary analyses indicate that FUE will slip to 1st Qtr, FYO5. Project office personnel are also holding discussions with the user about the feasibility of refining the definition of FUE.
