Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Block 5.0
Abstract
THAAD Advanced Capability Development (ACD) (formerly Block 5.0) initiates the next incremental capability delivered as part of THAAD`s evolutionary acquisition/development strategy. ACD will include the capability to launch THAAD interceptors using data from other Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) sensor elements and an expansion of the THAAD element`s capability to provide THAAD sensor data to the BMDS in support of the Unifying Missile Defense Function (UMDF). ACD will include integration of Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communications, improved track correlation and engagement coordination with the BMDS, and the ability to launch THAAD interceptors based on system track data from the BMDS Command and Control/Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC). This enhanced BMDS C2BMC interface enables the THAAD Interceptor Launch on BMD System Track capability, which is included in BMDS Integrated Build D. Development also includes the added capability to conduct Concurrent Test, Training, and Operations and continued participation in BMDS Integrated System Ground and Flight tests. Sustainment continues the field support and contractor logistics support for fielded Battery hardware. AN/TPY-2 Radar development will be performed under the Sensors Program Element and integrated into the THAAD weapon system.
