Targets & Countermeasures Supports Block 5.0
Abstract
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Targets and Countermeasures (TC) program provides threat representative targets to effectively demonstrate capability of the evolving layered missile defense system in a simultaneous test and operations operating environment. Based on the systems engineering assessments of realistic threat scenarios, the targets and countermeasures program acquires and launches short, medium, intermediate, and long range capability-based targets, to include Foreign Materiel Acquisitions (FMAs), with enhanced payloads to test, verify, and validate the performance of the BMDS. Funding for the TC program supports the continuation of the target program`s source activities which include the requirements, design, build, and test of BMDS targets, associated payloads, and flight missions. It also supports the maintenance, aging surveillance, refurbishment, and routine testing of existing government furnished equipment (GFE) boosters and target components, as well as the purchase of long lead material assets and asset management items for short, medium, intermediate, and long-range target components.
