Ballistic Missile Defense Organization Cooperative-Engagement-Capability/PATRIOT (CEC/PATRIOT) Interoperability Test
Abstract
The purpose of the PATRIOT/CEC Interoperability Testing is to determine and demonstrate the capability of several radar systems, from different services, to jointly detect, track, and target ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and high-performance aircraft at longer ranges than is now possible. As the ability to detect, track, and target incoming threats is improved, this would ultimately enable defensive systems such as the PATRIOT system to be employed more effectively not only in the aircraft defense role it was originally designed for, but also in an increasingly effective missile defense role. The EA addresses the environmental impacts of deployment of all the test elements, focusing on the impacts at one non-military test equipment location, Ocean City Municipal Airport. NEPA analyses for the other test elements are documented in categorical exclusions (CATEX) and are incorporated by reference in the EA.
