European Capability Block 4
Abstract
Block 4.0 provides the funding for the expansion of the BMDS capability at a third missile site; execution of the flight and ground testing program to include the demonstration of additional Engagement Sequence Groups (ESGs); fielding of additional interceptors; and the sustainment and support for the fielded capability. Block 4.0 incorporates the next increment of fielded capability with up to ten (10) additional interceptors for either a European Site or expanded inventory at Fort Greely, AK. Block 4.0 planned additional enhancements for European Capability includes: European Interceptor Site (EIS) with ten (10) additional silos and ten (10) Silo Interface Vaults (SIVs) capable of supporting interceptors and Launch Support Equipment (including CLE) to support interceptors and provide capabilities comparable to other operational sites. Design and development of GFC improvements to include multi-AOR. A Relocatable IFICS Data Terminal (RIDT) capable of sending in-flight target updates to and receiving in-flight status reports from interceptors launched from European Capability. GMD Communication Network (GCN) infrastructure connecting European Capability components to GMD Fire Control (GFC) Nodes located at the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) and Fort Greely, AK. European Capability facilities including: Interceptor Monitoring Facility, Mechanical Electrical Building (MEB), Interceptor Storage Facility, RIDT Building, Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) facility and other facilities at the European Interceptor Site (EIS) capable of providing appropriate protection of equipment. Fielding of ten (10) 2-Stage configuration GBIs . ESGs are demonstrated in the GMD Integrated Test Program. Capabilities of the BMDS will be enhanced as the number of operationally available ESGs increases. During Block 4.0, GMD will demonstrate capability in two additional BMDS ESGs: Engage on FBX-T (Hercules Algorithm) Launch on FBX-T (Hercules Algorithm)
