THAAD
Abstract
THAAD Baseline Capability Development (BCD) (THAAD 1.0) provides the fundamental capability against short and medium-range Ballistic Missiles and asymmetric threats inside and outside the atmosphere. Remaining work scope includes: 1) Ground and Flight Test the weapon system against complex Re-entry Vehicles (RV), background clutter, and Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) threats; 2) Ground and Flight Test the initial Discrimination Capability; 3) Provide enhanced communication capability to support Link 16 compatibility with the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) and engagement coordination with other BMDS elements. THAAD Advanced Capability Development (ACD) (THAAD 2.0) expands the capability of THAAD 1.0 system by 2018. New THAAD capabilities include: 1) Launch on Link 16 Track providing the ability to initiate an engagement and launch THAAD interceptors using sensor data provided by BMDS sources outside the THAAD Battery; 2) Improving THAAD Weapons System performance in the presence of a high debris environment; 3) Expanding the defended area footprints by remote operation of THAAD Launchers; 4) Peer-to-peer engagement coordination with Aegis and Patriot weapon systems; 5) Software upgrades to maintain capability against evolving threats; and 6) Message based regional engagement command functionality to process message content from Command and Control/Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) to obtain direction for target engagement. THAAD supports fielded software through Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS). PDSS enhancements will include: 1) Information Assurance mandatory updates; 2) Warfighter requested corrections and enhancements; and 3) Upgrades to maintain interface with other BMDS software builds. Through FY 2011, THAAD provided logistical support to field, operate, maintain, repair and replenish the weapon system. Beginning in FY 2012, these costs are resourced with O&M funding. MDA Engineering integrates element development, test, and Modeling and Simulation work to optimize the capability of the BMDS. THAAD provides institutional and unit training devices to support U.S. Army requirements for CONUS and OCONUS deployments based on the System Training Plan (STRAP).
