Acquisition of the Theater High Altitude Area Defense Program.

Abstract

The Theater High Altitude Area Defense System is the upper tier of the Army's two-tiered theater ballistic missile defense plan. With the lower tier Patriot system, the Theater High Altitude Area Defense systems are being designed to negate theater ballistic missiles at long range and high altitudes. Its long-range intercept capability will help protect broad areas, dispersed assets, and population centers against theater ballistic missile attacks. The program is budgeted by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and executed by the Army. The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization plans to acquire 80 launchers; 1,319 intercept missiles; and 14 fire-control radar sensors and battle management/command, control, communication, and intelligence tactical operating centers at a cost exceeding $10 billion (then-year dollars).
