AEGIS BMD Block 2.0
Abstract
Aegis BMD supports the BMDS Block 2.0 with the BMD 3.6 Combat System, comprised of the BMD 3.6 computer systems coupled with the SM-3 Blk IA missile, and with BMD 3.6.1, an upgrade to BMD 3.6 that includes a terminal phase capability. BMD 3.6.1 will be fully discussed in project BX18. Aegis BMD 3.6 and 3.6.1 support the BMDS mission of intercepting ballistic missiles in all regions, in all phases, and of all ranges, as follows: In all regions: Provide sea-based surveillance, tracking, and engagement capabilities in international waters. In all phases of ballistic missile flight: LRS&T capability against missile threats in all flight stages (BMD 3.6); Engagement capability against missile threats in the midcourse flight stage (BMD 3.6); Engagement capability against missile threats in the terminal phase of flight (BMD 3.6.1). Against all ranges: Against long-range ballistic missiles by providing surveillance and tracking support as part of the Limited Defensive Capability (LDC) (Block 1.0). Against short and medium range ballistic missiles by providing engagement support as part of BMD 3.6 and BMD 3.6.1. Aegis BMD supported initial BMDS operations by providing LRS&T data to other elements of the BMDS. Aegis BMD will further improve both national and international security with its ability to launch Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) missiles based upon autonomous data and upon remote data (LoR). The BMD 3.6 program: Defeats unitary and simple separating threats SRBMs and MRBMs with Aegis BMD configured cruisers and destroyers using SM-3 Blk I or IA guided missiles. Provides LRBM surveillance and track data through the BMDS to the GMD element to cue and initiate fire control Weapons Task Plans. Provides Aegis BMD surveillance and track data to the BMDS to support Combatant Commander situational awareness. Expands the engagement battle space via Launch on Remote (LoR) with Aegis AN/SPY-1 sensor data. Supplies Aegis BMD operational data to the BMDS C2BMC Element to support Combatant Commander situational awareness. Provides an operational, engagement-capable system. The BMD 3.6 computer program has been fielded on a total of eighteen (18) U.S. Navy Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers, along with SM-3 Blk IA missiles. With BMD 3.6.1, Aegis BMD is providing a follow-on capability to BMD 3.6 in response to recent Real World Events. NTBST (BMD 3.6.1) provides for an integrated SBT capability against a finite set of SRBM. BMD 3.6.1 incorporates a fuze modified SM-2 Block IV missile provided by a separate Navy sponsored effort and builds on BMD 3.6 to provide a terminal phase capability. BMD 3.6.1 continues efforts to refine Aegis Launch on AN/TPY-2 capabilities and bridges the gap between the operational deployment of BMD 3.6 and BMD 4.0.1. Aegis BMD is fielding a NTSBT capability beginning in FY 2009. In addition to the NTSBT capability, Aegis BMD is performing various upgrades to BMD 3.6 in BMD 3.6.1; updates include early integration efforts for Aegis BMD launch on AN/TPY-2 capability. Aegis BMD 3.6.1 also provides enhanced capabilities within the areas of engagement coordination, system track, and communications to support the BMDS UMDF. In collaboration with the MDA Systems Engineer, Aegis BMD supports an autonomous engagement against SRBMs and MRBMs without requiring external cueing. BMD 3.6 and BMD 3.6.1 support SM-3 Engage on AN/SPY-1, SM-3 Launch on Remote (AN/SPY-1), GBI Engage on AN/SPY-1, and GBI Launch on AN/SPY-1 capabilities.
